to fill out the 4473 for you!

One other item that interests me is the question on the 4473 that asks if you have ever been adjudicated mentally defective.

Recently, I had a man come in the shop to buy a handgun, and he asked if he could do so, because he was receiving a Military Disability for some kind of Mental Issue.

I have no idea.

I absolutely agree that a Misdemeanor conviction should never preclude a man or woman from owning a firearm.

I also have a bit of trouble with the wide and encompassing domestice violence laws that are currently on the books.

"Adjudicated" as per your question means committed to mental care by a Magistrate for reasons other than "observation" or diagnosis. In other words, imprisoned as a nut. (As interpreted by the US Attorney's office.)

Word.



P.S. did you change your name?

Sometimes I slur my words when I type as well.

Thanks for noticing and GFY.
