I recieved this e-mail this morning. I too have been asked these questions at VA clinics. It very well may get you reported regarding carrying knives. Maybe neither, it might just get you on a watch list or no-fly list.
I am not posting this as a political statement and hope that no one considers it to violate our no politics policy.
From a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer:
I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions:
1. Did I feel stressed?
2. Did I feel threatened?
3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?
The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security. Looks like they are going after the vets first.
Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware.
The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner veteran or not, you've been warned.
If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.
