The only time a doctor should be concerned about the guns you own is if he believes you, by virtue of a mental illness, are a danger to yourself or others.
If I go see my doctor about knee pain, absent an obvious gun shot wound to my knee, guns are completely irrelevant.
It's sad that we actually need a law to prevent doctors from asking patients about things completely unrelated to treatment. Doctors are busy people, I would think they wouldn't want to waste their time.
