Question about purchase permit

(1/1)

thirtydaZe:
Im trying to get more people i know involved with firearms and shooting.  Anyhow, one of the requirements listed on the pamphlet that was picked up at the sheriff station states:

"No record of mental health"

Well, someone close to me voluntarily made regular visits to a psychiotrist earlier in their life, and is now not willing to go get a permit because of potential rejection.

As it stands today, arent they checking for a criminal record of that nature?

Just wanted to be able to be clear so i could keep pushing my cause, and hopefully sooner than later have close friends to go shoot with.

The only mental issues that will show up in a background check are those that are court ordered.

However, as I understand it, there are provisions in Obamacare  that would seriously expand on that...
