What Do I Put for Getting a Weapons Carry Permit?

by Tjflex2

Question by Alex: What do I put for getting a weapons carry permit?
I haven’t applied for one yet because I’m worried I might get denied because when I plead to “and successfully completed” the FOA, part of the stipulations was for me to also see a physiatrist. So does that mean to mark yes under

“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”

Technically I was never ordered to a “facility” it just said “Defendant to have mental health evaluation by a Psychiatrist & complete recommended treatment”.

Also, it was not for any specific mental condition. The judge didn’t know if I had one or not so he wanted me to go get checked I guess. I’m to assume the safe side and mark yes. I went to a psychologist and a psychiatrist and neither ever said I was a danger to myself or others, or mentally incompetent. I can get/already have documents saying I am not and have not been documented to have been a threat to myself or others. Should I add that?

I’ve never been to a mental hospital, never been ordered there. Idk what I should put.
If I got denied for that reason do I have a good ground to appeal and should I get a lawyer?
Okay thanks. I just want to make sure I don’t put any false information on there.
Yeah, I was never ordered to any mental place, just to get checked.

You were ordered to be ‘evaluated’, not ‘treated’. So the answer was ‘No’.
You might even be able to cite and use the pre-existing evaluation and save some dough.

Just tell them that you weren’t. If you say you’ve been treated at a mental health center it can just cause problems. The reason for that is to make sure crazy people don’t get permits. So if you tell them you haven’t you’ll be just fine. Hope this helped.
