Attacking you is against the law. Did you call the police? This would have/should have been the perfect time to intervene. If not then I guess you will have a wait and see circumstance.

I would avoid him and keep my family away from him.
That time, we left the police out of it...I was adequately able to defend myself without any significant physical injury to either of us.

Unfortunately, I wont be able to keep my family away from him for the time being...funeral stuff.

I'm not sure what you think needs to be done. Take away his CHL? Meaningless. Take away his guns? Illegal and he could just by another.

Try to find a way to connect him with the proper help. This is a tough one for sure.
Unfortunately, he is completely irrational...connecting with him is not an option.

The ability for him to legally carry a firearm and be put into a situation where, in his mind, he would be justified to use it is what concerns us. He has attacked family members, including myself, and completely lacks a filter.

I really wouldn't stir up a pot like this if I wasn't legitimately concerned.

If gun grabbers get away with taking up CHL on suspicion that someone is psychological
unstable then all the grabbers have to do is take a list of gun rights advocates ( like the NRA membership roster)
and say they are unstable then take their guns.

Preserving our rights are the # 1 concern.

Give up freedom for a little security will leave you with the loss of both

Be aware and take precautions
I understand your point, but this person is also unfortunately family. We know what we know and it makes us uncomfortable, especially because it is him. We have more than "suspicion", we have 22 years of first hand knowledge.

Also, if we as responsible holders do not protect the greater good by exposing those who may cause a threat, wouldn't we be giving gun grabbers a reason to grab guns...we won't turn in our own kind just cause they "might be a little off"?

CHL Concern

I happen to know someone that has their CHL, but I also know that they are not a stable person and I do not know one person that knows him which would disagree. As much as I support the carry of lawful citizens, which he has no criminal record, I am genuinely concerned for the general public. Recently, he has suffered a loss of a family member, so his instability is off the charts.

Is there anything that can be done...even if only temporarily?
