Can someone post any questions or any part of the form that deals with (mental)? I would like the exact wording. Thanks

    "Have you been adjudicated mentally defective?"

    Key word here is "adjudicated." Means that a Court has declared it so. Very rare thing.

    Lots of people go to mental hospitals for various reasons. Sometimes voluntarily, sometimes on an emergency order.

    Voluntary is not adjudicated. Nor is an emergency if it is followed by a voluntary committal.

    Wow, what a relief. I'd always felt a pang of guilt when I answered that question. I thought all they wanted to know was whether or no I was crazy.

    To err is human, to moo is bovine.

    Thanks nunn.I was just wondering because last weekend at the gun show a friend of mine bought a pistol. He has been diagnosed and is being (voluntarily) treated for having homicidal tendencies. (Viet Nam vet, special ops of some kind). He read the form real careful and said that, with the wording it had, it was OK for him to buy the gun. I guess he was right.

    Pickenup,
    This may be a stupid question, but why would you support him buying a weapon if you know he's being treated for homicidal tendencies?
