That’s just weird.
I’ve been hospitalized much more than a few times and once for 3-years and 5-months and I bought a new pistol and shotgun last year, supplementing two other guns purchased in 2012. I actually shot someone last year (a burglar with a knife, shot in his right thigh bone) and I didn’t lose my concealed carry license or suffer any repercussions.
All of my hospitalizations were voluntary and I’ve never been adjudicated as mentally ill requiring confinement. Are you in the US? You may want to contact your local FBI or a DoJ representative. Or have your H do it.
I’m no gun nut at all. But after five burglaries, three in my bedroom while I slept, I felt a stronger need for protection.
