Best Answer

In Virginia, as with every state, the federal law plays a trump card. 18 for long barreled firearms (rifles and shotguns), 21 for handguns and NFA regulated items.

Do veterans have to ackowledge gun ownership at a VA hospital?

You do not have to answer it and it would be advisable not to. If you acknowledge gun ownership to the VA and you subsequently get diagnosed with PTSD or the doctor believes that you are a threat to yourself or others, they will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and your guns will be confiscated. This HAS happened on more than a few occasions and the serviceman's guns were not returned. I have always declined to answer this question, even after significant pressure and empty threats from the doctor and I keep getting asked on every visit. I have not had any real consequences from declining to answer it. They don't like it, but who cares. One thing that I would not do is lie about owning a firearm. That can potentially hang you up if it comes out that you do. Just refuse to answer the question. Maybe answer the question with a question: Doctor: Do you own a firearm? You: Do you own a firearm Doc? Doctor: We're not here to talk about me. Do you own a firearm? You: I would not tell you If I did? Doctor: Do you own a firearm? You: Doc, I am not required nor am I going to answer that question Doc. You get the point. Be evasive at first and then lay it out.
