Question on Gun Ownership

1260 Views 13 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  crossedcannons45
A friend of mine called me this morning and told me he is thinking about buying a 1911 .45. He had a question. He was treated at the VA for PTSD and for depression after returning from Afghanistan. I told him a read that you cannot purchase a firearm for reasons like this. Anyway, I looked it up and what I found was that you would only be not allowed to purchase a firearm if you were found mentally incompetent or was commited to a mental institution. He was neither. I found that on several Websites but not on any ms.gov sites. Whats the rule on this?

If he has been flagged for anything he wont be allowed to purchase the weapon. So long as he is not declared mentally incompetent by an MD he should be fine. Answer his questions truthfully as everyone else has said, he shouldnt have a problem.
