People with extensive and ongoing chemical dependence and psychiatric disorders can and do qualify for LTCs. heck, you can be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and go to inpatient drug rehab, get granted your LTC the following month, and then go back to inpatient drug rehab again the next month without losing your license!
However, I think those same people, if prone to violence, get weeded out pretty quickly by the criminal disqualifiers.
You are tilting at the wrong windmill.
