 Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:22 pm Post subject: Question about Gun Permit |
 |
|
A friend wants to get a carry permit however but he had a short stint (3-5 days) in a Psychiatric hospital and was diagnosed as 'Major Depressive' due to a death in the family which took place early 00's I think the law states one can apply after 7 years but what are the actual chances of getting a permit for self protection? He has had no run in's with the police and is not a danger to self or others.
What do they consider when one has a slight history when deciding on giving a permit. Do they look at employment history how far do they look into one's medical records whats the normal process?
Thanks. |

Just a criminal history or if there are any stay away orders and such.

| The biggest area of concern is can your friend legally own the gun and will the ATF background check go through on the purchase. On the form there are questions about mental issues and he would have to answer yes and that typically throws you out of the system. It has been so long on my cC permit but I believe they also ask you this on the filing as well. |

It looks like question number 16 could be an issue.
16. Have you ever been ordered to receive inpatient or outpatient treatment at any treatment facility,
mental health center, hospital, sanitarium, clinic or program for a mental condition, drug abuse, or
alcohol abuse, by any court, board, or other authority in any civil, criminal or administrative
proceeding? (If yes, attach a copy of the order) ……………………………………………..………… |

I don't think he's been ordered by anybody... I know they did the mandatory 3-5 day evaluation and was released on the 5th day I dunno if that counts. |

Question: If your friend wasn't ordered - what made the party's stay MANDATORY?

That's exactly what I was thinking. If he didn't go voluntarily, then someone signed an order...an doc, a judge, a legal guardian...

If he didn't go voluntarily, he was ordered.
And I'm sorry, but there are too many people that ask on behalf of "friends" on this board.
Either people aren't being honest, or they care way too much about what their "friends" are doing. As long as I bring the beer over, my friends have never cared that much about whether or not I make a court date or have a weapons permit.
Just sayin'...

He asked a question and since I know of this site and you guys know more about the laws surrounding certain topics I'd thought I've give you guys a shot as for the order I'd 'ASSUME' he was not ordered being that he didn't go in front of a judge nor was he arrested/detained by any LEO city/county or state.
Isn't it mandatory to keep a person for evaluation down here?
I know up in NY/NJ if one goes to a Psychiatric hospital (on their own will or otherwise) with symptoms of depression they will normally keep a person for 3-5 days just to make sure he/she isn't a harm to their selves or others. |

Dont forget that some of the law enforcement types on here have a disclaimer at the bottom of our profiles. You can take the advice of strangers on an internet forum, or you can inquire from a more credible source. I've been known to give bad advice on purpose for kicks or even be a bit sarcastic.

If a person is a danger to themselves or the public, yes. But typically those evaluations take less than a day to complete (YMMV).
Georgia no longer has state mental health facilities. Usually if a person has to be committed, and they haven't committed a crime, they are taken to a private facility.

If you mean do they still count as far as being ordered to seek treatment, yes. As long as it's on a court order, Candyland counts.
