If you go to the law itself with respect to eligibility, there is significant room for interpretation on which questions must be answered and how. I suspect it would be extremely difficult to obtain a criminal prosecution on someone with 30 year old drug/alcohol issues based on their good faith interpretation of whether to include them or not. DPS is not doing us any favors by defaulting to denials based on very old “addiction” evidence. If the legislature intended to only make LTC available to lifelong teetotalers, then they could have put it in the statute.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 11:47 amI think one problem with not listing it is that it is illegal not to. If you ever have to use your weapon in self defense, the issue could come to light. Then you will have a huge problem.narcissist wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:28 am Please explain where it says records beyond 7 years doesn't have to be listed. From what I remember in my application, I had to list "ALL" arrest records and list all rehabs and etc. Maybe I missed this part but I just don't recall.
If he didnt put it down they would of probably not have found it, 30 plus years I can almost guarantee that info is no where to be found. It was 30 plus years ago why write anything down about it, I understand your saying to follow the law to a T, but you see where that gets you at times. If they want a psychiatrist evaluation then Dps should pay for it but it's going to be hard to find a Dr. That will say your fine because if you use your weapon the Dr.could be held liable. I believe it's takes three visits to a psyc. Dr. Before he can "diagnose" you, if most doctors won't prescribe meds anymore to patients there not going to say your fine to carry a gun. There's at least castle law, I hope you figure out a way!
