If you don't report it, they would never know. However, there are reasons they want to restrict this. *Most* mental illness falls into two categories. Either something along the depressive spectrum, or something along the psychotic/anti-social spectrum. People on the depressive side are more likely to attempt and succeed at suicide if they have a gun. On the other side of that fence, they are more likely to harm or kill someone with a gun.

So...what is your motivation for wanting a gun and what was your reason for needing therapy?

No . but you can get a gun. go for it. Colleges are prim e spot to check it out

Chris

it is illegal only if you have been a patient of a mental hospital in the past 5 years.. or if you are mentally retarded.

no-one important

I guess you could but why would you need a gun in the first place?

Have no idea what their restrictions are but definitely you should not be able to get a license for a firearm.

Jess :)

i want a gun! besides surely having a mental illness history means that the news men can make loads of money if you terrorise the community.

im sure you either can or cant get a gun. i dont know.

If you were never hospitalized then there should be no history of mental illness.

Try traveling to Texas and buy a machine gun.

look get the gun first, then if it becomes an issue you can always throw the gun in the river and make a quick run for it...

Or you can do the next best thing.. Get Married..

And you need a gun for what again?

Golden

obviously not from texas. therapists in texas are required to issue you a six pack and a firearm as treatment.

Umm.. if you have a criminal record .. its not a good idea anyway
