Before we had our 2nd amendment rights severely infringed upon in the socialist state of Maryland, October 1 2013, the 2 questions regarding mental health were
Question 7
Have you ever spent more then 30 consecutive days in any medical institution for treatment of a mental disorder or disorders? (If a physicians certificate, issued within 30 days prior to the date of this application, certifying that you are capable of possessing a regulated firearm without undue danger to yourself, or to others, is attached to this application, then answer n/a for not applicable.)
And question 8
have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective or have you been committed to a mental institution?
Number 12, "shortened"
Did you answer yes to above, if so you are prohibited from purchasing / possessing a regulated firearm, if you currently possess contact Maryland police,
If I had to answer a yes to any of the questions I would sell it to a shop and get money for it instead of giving it to the police to be destroyed with no payment for it and possible jail time, for not knowing.
A friends wife who is schizophrenic was able to buy a pistol years ago with a dr note.
No one knows how the new law will work, it might be implemented like the marijuana tax stamp act of 1935, may have wrong year, required a tax stamp but no office to provide it was ever created, some hippies finally made a big enough fuss, and i think it was repealed and marajuana made illegal, late 60's.
The current fear in Maryland is the new law requires training proficiency license for each purchase, mandatory insurance, plus fees all having to be renewed every 4 years, the bill is difficult to read, very long, and no one seems to have been able to interpret it, it is rumored that any mental condition especially PTSD will be used to prevent ownership,
Gov fears retired military, especially ex snipers, our soldiers risked their lives for this nation and it repays them by making or attempting to make it difficult or impossible to exercise their 2 nd amendment rights.
My goal is to get out of this state, and move to one that doesn't attempt to squeeze everything they can out of its citizens while attempting to remove their constitutional rights. In any way they can, they even tax us for rain.
If you value your savings, income, property, and freedom, never vote for Martin OMalley, Maryland's socialist governor, for any office / position, ever. Government or non government.
