MercTech -> Background Checks and Mental Illness (8/1/2012 11:58:22 AM)
|
Background checks for firearm purchase are to prevent convicted felons and those with mental illness from purchasing firearms. HIPA regulations prevent release any medical information without patient permission or a court order. Now, unless mental treatment was ordered by a court; would it ever show up on a background check? Just ruminating over the hype on the Aurora shootings and wondering if our community has any thoughts on this?
