The answer is "yes" I have. She has Learned to pay closer attention to the cards in her hand so I don't beat her nearly as often as I used to.

We all have our ways of dealing with things, and in the end the outcome can be the same. Mature people of average intelligence should be able to figure out what information is useful for a particular purpose and what information isn't. The possibility exists that this information may be used for nefarious purposes by the government at some point. Once entered into a computerized medical record it will be there forever. Easily searchable. Nobody should ever trust government, IMO. A "none of your business" of "break in and find out" answer gives you a good idea that people do, in fact, own firearms.
I advocate saying no. That is what I do. It is what I have instructed my kids to do. It hasn't made them little criminals, they just understand that there is some information that needs to be kept very private, and people just don't need to know. It is the real world. Life isn't all puppies and unicorns. They may deal with more 2A issues than we do, and need to learn certain things at an early age. Just how I choose to raise my kids. To be prepared.

Of course you are welcomed to raise your children as you wish. I simply hold the value of the truth to be just as important to me as I hope you hold the value of your Hippocratic Oath.
We've met, broken bread together and you're a smart guy. To imply that raising children to tell the truth is raising them in a world of puppies and unicorns (and maybe Santa Clause) really is beneath you, IMO.
Maybe we're splitting hairs, maybe not. You tell your kids to say no. As stated before, mine are grown and gone so this particular issue was never addressed to them. However, if it had been, my input to them would be to reply with something like..."I don't own any guns and I'm not comfortable speaking for my parents".
As a Doctor you are okay with a patient not telling the truth in this instance because it does not impact how you care for them. How would you feel about them lying to you about something that does matter? Shots, broken bones or other issues that could have a significant impact on how you proceed with treatment?
This. It's not the doctor you should be worried about it's the insurance company. And now that ObamaCare requires certain information to be shared with the government it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for HHS to quietly start recording gun ownership.The possibility exists that this information may be used for nefarious purposes by the government at some point.
