Hawaii...
does all this one better. Everytime you purchase a handgun and once a year when you renew your long gun permit you fill out a form giving the police department the name, address, and phone number of your physician. In the two weeks between the time you put in the paperwork and when you pick up the permit to go get your firearm they contact your doctor and ask him/her if they know of any reason you shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm (even if you already have 30 in your safe at home).
A local police records check and a state mental health agency check are also done. Currently if you are denied the permit you will be told the source of the denial so you can straighten in out if it is an error. There is a bill before the current legislature which would make is so the person denied the permit would not be told the source of the denial. The Hawaii Rifle Association is attempting to get this killed in committee.
Luckily for me my physician wear combat boots (my spouse is retired military and we receive our medical care through Tripler Army Medical Center). So far never any problems.
