Hawaii gun permit ruling sides with ‘homesick’ Navy officer

Hawaii cannot deny a firearms permit simply because someone has sought counseling, a judge has ruled.

In NY I'm not sure this individual would get the same support or ruling. They chomp at the bit to disarm anyone for any reason they see fit.

In NY, if there’s any psychiatric history at all, I suspect that would be used as a pretext for denial of rights. I mean, this is the state that has an Office of Mental Health, which has its own armed officers with state police authority (IIRC, been awhile).

I know plenty of people here in NY that were honest about their PTSD/mental health issues that received their permits.

This story in Hawaii, I think is an uncommon issue.
