Similar scenario a few years ago when "shopping" for a new doctor... First visit, a lot of paperwork, and many offensive questions includingthe gun questions, family history, which I understand the purpose, but still don't think they need to know until a particular problem comes into play....
Add to that.. I refused to show ID and allow them to make a copy of my driver's license (which is in fact, illegal in Virginia), nor would I furnish them with my SSN. Obviously, my first visit was not going well and I hadn't even gotten past the front counter yet.
Eventually, they bring me in to see the doc and he begins by questioning why I won't cooperate. I explain everything to him. He was not aware that it was illegal to copy a driver's license in Virginia. He was unaware (still not sure I believe this one), that the questionnaire included gun questions. His office manager runs the front office, and had obtained generic forms provided by the AMA.
The Doc turned out to be pretty cool - former military guy, so I stuck with him. He had a new office manager by my second visit, and I've never been hasseled since.
