I'm a Vietnam veteran and retired U.S. Army. Although I do not use the V.A. for routine health care services, I do go to a V.A. hospital once a year for a hearing exam (Severe hearing loss from being stationed next to a 8-inch howitzer unit in Vietnam may have something to do with it). On several pro-2A forums I have heard mention of V.A. doctors/hospitals asking about gun ownership but I have never had this happen to me. I do recall being asked routinely if I feel depressed, etc. but no mention of guns. I just wondered if such questions were only isolated incidents or if there really was something going on to routinely determine which veterans, or how many veterans own guns. BTW, if asked I would probably politely say we should stick to health care questions and that whether or not I own guns is none of their business, but I think that such an answer would be written down as a "yes".
