Not sure where to put this

imported post

Hi all im new,im not sure exactly where to put this so if this is the wrong place i apologize.

I have a important question here that i have been wondering about for a long time.

About 17 maybe more years ago i tried to commit suicide 3 times with a overdose of Tylenol aspirin. I spent about 3 months in Allentown State Hospital in Allentown,Pa.

I have been fine for the past 15 years,no med's or anything,my life is doing great and glad to be alive. I was never a harm to anyone,heck i still believe in the rule "you don't hit girls" i still consider that wrong. Im not psychotic or anything either. i'd never hurt a fly,i was brought up to treat everyone with respect,Especially the women.

My question is what are the laws for people that did what i did? I would like to be a gun and sword collector and i would like to carry for protection. Will i be able to get a gun or no cause of my past 3 suicides attempts?

Just so yas know i don't have any guns i wanted to know legal wise if i can or not.

One other thing i would like to know,is there such a thing as trigger locks for like 9mm kind of guns if i would get one? I ask cause sometimes there is kids running around here in my home,and would like to make sure stuff is safe.

Thank you in advance for the help.

The Obongo Administration and its Obamination are eagerly changing the law to disbar one adjudicated 'mentally defective' his Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Even veterans diagnosed 'PTSD' are at risk of their RKABA.

How the disbarment is administered and enforced is up to the 'sovereign' states. I don't know the details for Pennsylvania.

If you were involuntarily committed or judged (adjudicated) a risk to yourself or others then I fear you may be caught up and swept away in this tide of tyranny.

Best wishes.

First, congratulations on surviving. There is no such thing as "Tylenol aspirin"; they are two different substances. You're lucky you didn't take enough Tylenol (acetaminophen, aka paracetamol), because a bottle full will definitely kill you. It just takes 2-3 weeks before you die in painful agony, from liver failure.

Your age at the time is probably a critical factor. How old were you when you were sent to the state hospital?

Did you forget the question on the form. IT does not matter what is in some computer system unless it does not match the form. So if he lies on the form, and there is a record someplace, then he can be arrested for lying in the form. IF he tells the truth, they might not sell him the gun.

So it is not just as simple as try it and if it works he is ok.

Oh yes, a nice site if you want to get discriminated against by the people who are keyboard commandos there. anti-gay, anti-furry, among others.

They've chased people away in which I end up meeting the said chased person only to receive bad remarks about the site(the people anyway, it isn't all of them.)

Furball, it's not that you're a gay furry, it's that you CAN'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT. I know other furries, and other gays, who don't use it as a topic 24/7, and I have nothing against them.

Shit, I think LilDobe is a pretty nice guy, and he makes no secret of being a furry. It's just that he doesn't constantly ******* mention it.

Your treatment was voluntary, so I think you are just fine. Adjudicated means court order. Your CPL application is going to have this on it for you to sign:

I have never been convicted of a crime that
prohibits me from possessing or acquiring a
firearm under Federal or State law. I am of
sound mind and have never been committed to
a mental institution. I hereby certify that the
statements contained herein are true and correct
to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Notice the underlined part. Again, if you went voluntarily, and never were refused to be released, it is not a committment, it is treatment. Two different words.

ok thank you,this answered my question .

Funny, I mentioned PAFOA around antixx and he frowned. When I asked him why, he informed me people were bashing on him because he is a furry. They bashed him mainly in chat and a couple references on the forum.

Also, I don't know the reason, dan pherson spent donated funds on a laptop for himself. I did not believe sgt or xd45 until one of them actually linked to the topic where dan admitted spending funds on a laptop for himself, of which he should've bought with his own money. After they shown me the link, I just simply stopped reading pafoa forums.

I don't like 1) people who are just using others for their own financial benefit and 2) at the least dan could do is actually participate.
