Are any of yall gun law gurus?

Guns go bang bang

Missouri has a castle doctrine law

Ive never tried to buy a gun but I get the feeling that I would get denied the purchase...

But I'm not sure..

I live in Virginia by the way... unfortunately

As long as you pass the background check you should be fine

^

@Split_beard (PS4) got criminal charges?

Well here's the thing. When i was 19 i got admitted to a mental hospital because of reasons I'd rather not talk about (it was a really dark point in my life) and Ive heard that if you've ever gotten admitted to a mental hospital you couldn't make a purchase?

Probably correct.

But the worst they can do is say no

So like i can't ever purchase a gun no matter what?

You can always try. Probs get delayed

For some mistakes I made when I was a teenager... i get treated like a second class citizen, like a felon...

That's just awesome

😒

It wasn't your mistakes. But the mistakes of the mentaly unstable kids that shot up schools

If you were admitted by the state they will delay (you can still get it but the check takes a while) or deny you the sale

at this point, if someone can be proven to be mentally sound, i dont think things that happened at such a young and volatile age shouldnt be held against yo ufor life.

If you went on your own accord or by a family member they shouldnt be a problem

The cop they arrested me thought it was a good idea that i didn't go to jail since was in a pretty awful state physically and mentally.

I unknowingly agreed.

Ok so you should look up the 302 laws, basically 302a says if you admitted yourself and got cleared yes you’ll be able to own and carry after a doctor signs off

I sold guns for little over a year. My best advice it to try to buy one. If you get denied the seller should provide you with the contact info for the FBI/NICS and you can call them and work towards being able to buy one

302b says if you attempted suicide or something like that and the police arrested you but you didn’t fight it to take a couple of years but yes you can own and carry after a doctor signs off

302c says if you were violent and arrested and then admitted then no absolutely not

I was in there for 4 days because it was a weekend and it was a holiday as well

So if you fought the police or threatened someone’s life

happy to see this community being so awesome and coming forward with great information to help out a fellow member. you guys rock.

@Marquis De Lafayette well I don't think I'll be able to then...

Hey man, having a new gun owner in America only helps maintain the 2A against the gun grabbers.

Ok well look up the laws and seek legal council on the issue and you may be able to or not, I don’t know the particulars of your situation

Oops wrong link... gimme a sec

And don’t feel pressured to share anything you don’t feel comfortable sharing

Thanks guys i really appreciate it. I really hope that i don't have any issues because it kind of terrifies me a little but i guess I'll just have to try it and ser.

Like I sad just try and if you get denied use the link and take the correct coarse to fix it.

If you can get a doctor to sign off on your situation and a judge or the ATF or whoever you need to go to with it approves then your good but the way it was explained to me was if you were violent then there’s no way

Ok I'll give it a shot someday

@Wazup only in that state. Move to another and gain residency.
