Seeing a psychiatrist does not bar you from owning a weapon and would NEVER show up in a background check. What shows up is those who have been "green warranted" or admitted for psychiatric observation for their own protection. Which is why background checks don't stop crazy.
And I don't know what kind of hazing you faced but unless you come onto this forum running off at the mouth, the guys and gals here are the most welcoming group of people you'll ever want to meet.
And also, you highlighted, and increased GrapeShots words, yet somehow, still didn't take away his message. QUIT with the back and forth publicly. This was a topic about an individual being shot at a range. Somehow, and to the joy of those who love to see us acting like the irrational white trash they love to make us out to be, you and another individual turned it into a piss-ing (somehow, that's a bad word) match. If you're really "putting on your big boy pants" you would've hushed MANY posts ago and taken your disagreement to a PRIVATE MESSAGE. Do us all a favor in the future and try to stay on topic and keep the bickering to a PM. Including any and all issues you may have with my posts.
Finally, you don't see how going to lobby day and joining VCDL are helping? Then my friend, you really do need to read more and troll less.
BTW, I love my yankee
