Wow I thought the other states had the same rule as Calif.... the 5150 (danger to self or others ) hospitalizatikn record goes away after 5 years. I was hospitalized more times than I even remember between 1994 & 2003 for suicide attempts & feeling that way & have no problem buying a gun. Yes, the record sticks for 5 years but no longer than that. Are other states that different?

After 5 years in Calif you no longer have to check the box about the involuntary hold....maybe your H doesn't have to check that box any more & why would he check it in the gun application when he wasn't the one who was held in the first place. Did he misread the question?
