I just look at them and say "I own a gun shop". The last response was "oh, I'll take that as a yes".
Was it on a form the OP was filling out, or did someone ask?
To use a comparison, is fire safety only important when a house is on fire?
Fire safety in the home is usually not my first concern when seeking routine medical attention. I'd imagine consulting the fire department or a fire safety company would be a MUCH more appropriate venue for such concerns. I know, I know, crazy talk huh!
A redirection on both accounts, how very boring.
Fortunately he was at the pediatrician's office, not his own PCP for his own needs. I'd imagine consulting a pediatrician about the physical well-being and safety of a child is a great venue for such concerns. I know, I know, crazy talk.

Not really. If I take my kid to a Dr. for "wellness" advice, I'm paying for and want HEALTH advice. After all, I don't go to a gun range or NRA approved instructor for health advice! Expecting a medical doctor to be a subject matter expert on gun safety or fire safety just because they are a Dr. is idiotic. It's not a redirection, it's an expectation that they STAY IN THEIR LANE!

I'd say its none of their business.
A simple basic direct response works best. Leave it blank if you don't want to answer that question or any question. If they tell you you have to answer it or else you won't get to see the Dr. , well it is probably worth it not to. I always remember it's my money and I can go somewhere else.
