Is this a joke? No gun organization will sue over that.

But seriously...

This really angers me. Because all this does is discourage people who need mental health services from seeking it out.

If you have anxiety you should feel confident to seek treatment and know that your rights will still be protected.

This is extremely frustrating the position gov puts us in. There are people who absolutely need mental health services but are ignoring it or self medicating because they know if they try to better themselves they're at very real risk of going to lose their guns. That's an absolute tragedy to me. This issue is very frustrating.

You're not wrong. I'm pretty sure I could stand to visit a talking doctor, but I refuse to because I don't trust the state to stay out of my business.

See and that's a complete shame. Our politicians have failed us. Often times we may be in a position to choose to preserve our rights or seek improved health. There are circumstances where those 2 interests are not overlapping.

The irony is we All agree we want gun owners to have sound excellent mental health but it is politicians who are preventing that very thing from happening by their policies.

I know a woman who has considered applying for her pistol license but hasn't gone through because she took the class and upon reading and completing the paper application the mental health questions freaked her out because she also has anxiety and it's documented with her Dr. She's not a threat to anyone but has things like career stress etc. She so stopped the process and hasn't pursued it further. Shame on you NY.

It reminds me of the guy in Buffalo that got jacked up shortly after the unSAFE Act went through simply because he was prescribed anti-anxiety meds for like dentist visits or something. That's a hard pass for me.

Search out a psychologist or psychiatrist who administers or provides MMPI testing and support. They are not that difficult to find using search engines.

These are screening tests used to screen various professionals such as police recruits, nuclear power plant workers, certain childcare professionals, and some military personal.

After taking a version of this written test the mental health professional can provide a letter based on a widely accepted clinical screening tool without the liability of a general practioner who did not have supporting data.

why not .. they should ..

hell we have a girl sniffing dementia old man with a shotgun leading this country down the crapper who has armed body guards too ..

It sounds to me like if you need a dr's letter, you might as well get a lawyer also. You'll probably need one.

 

[Teacher063]

i have done research, doctor who willing to make report, cost about 3000-4000$

And there's your dinner

 

[CaliberPlus]

I asked previoulsy, is English your second language? I think there is something more to the situation than a letter needed. Further, I don't believe a lawyer would cost what op is saying doc would cost......

 

[camper4lyfe]

Something doesn't add up for this whole situation.

 

[speedkills27]

Best of luck to you. A doctor doesn’t want the liability to write you a letter saying you are fit to own a firearm.

definitely this, and if in NYC, its possible the docs have a political bias as well.
Also agree with other posters that there may be more to the story that has not been disclosed, if said story is legit

Bullshit, sounds like a bribe. A Dr. doesn't need money to file a report on mental competency.

 

[fresch]

Well, covid so they will do anything for money.

 

[RooftopKorean]

I live in NYC and I had to get a letter from my endocrinologist that my type 2 diabetes would not impair my cognitive functions.

I feel like it's a damn violation of my medical privacy just to own a gun for the defense of my family and home.

Thats complete non-sense. Thats extortion. Thats some bullshit that Saul Goodman MD would pull. Yoy need a 2A attorney.

 

[Egret-II]

my pcp and psychiatrist do not want write letter
i have no idea which doctor know how to write letter, please suggest

Vote for Zeldin

 

[meketrefe]

I still think you need to contact a counsel since doctors might not do it unless there is an approved process and for liability reasons. Why would they do it if the process is not defined or approved?
The PD might be asking for something they know many people will have a hard time getting to see if they give up their rights due to thr red tape. This arbietrarity is part of their sloppy plan.

But this is an idea. Find a place where they do a psychometric test for law enforcement, military, security, etc....
Ask for one to apply for a Sheriffs department job and to have it cleared before hand.
Of course you dont need to apply to any jobs.
Then submit the results of the report that is an official document.
One of those official certificates is even better than a letter from a primary doctor.

I have done several of these in my life. Also overseas is needed in many places just to go do competition shooting or hunting and mandatory for a hunting license aside any other requirements a hunting reserve or shooting organizers might have.

This is not legal advice. Again, To be sure ask a legal counsel.

Your thoughts?

 

[speedkills27]

Vote for Zeldin

as if thats going to do anything

 

[Steal2B]

Vote for Zeldin

Worrying about a mental health sanity letter but voting for the bitch FUKH would prove you're nuts, crazy, and insane because no one can be that stupid.

Due to new voting laws you will now need a mental health check and a valid ID. Also finger printing and DNA will also be required ..

I'm sorry, but Bruen made this 2 tier system unconstitutional!

If you don't need a psych evaluation to Vote, then you don't need it for the other so called Rights either!

Fuck NY

I think the OP has a problem, like having been commmitted at some point. I had a customer that has that issue. He is basically SOL on a federal level. There has been no direct address of my questions, which is fine but, it tells me there is much that is not disclosed.....
