Sad but true..., I foresee a time not long from now whereby anyone who was ever prescribed medication for depression or anxiety will have his or her permit revoked. Change we can be believe in?

Don't worry, they'll put the ever so compassionate Janet Reno in charge.
Can someone help me with this one? In NYS, If you are denied a license to carry, Is there an appeal process? It would seem to me that if the issueing body wrongfully denies you then a district court should up hold the letter of the law. That's the way it is here in NH. They have 14 days to issue/deny. you have 30 days to appeal to the district court. they have to put your appeal ahead of anything on the docket. NO CHARGE! If there is an issue of mental health, you must be declaired mentally ill by a court decission. As for checking a box on the request form that would give a missleading answer, I did that. Absolutly unintended. There was something on an arrest record that was 42 years old. Not many of us remember all of what happened that long ago. Anyway, There is a statement on the form that says " These statements are true and accurate to the best of my memory and recolection" If thats not on your request form, I would sugjest you put it there. on that 14th day, after my denial, the chief said he would only use the "False Statement" If someone became irate about the denial. The chief worked with me to get this issue resolved. Now I'm licensed. I don't understand how an issueing body can get away with not following the letter of the law.However from what I understand, NYS also never ISSUES permits to anyone less than a rich and famous celebrity.
BradGreat, if you happen to live there.
That's not the case in most other states, including mine; you just need to have EVER been diagnosed by ANY doctor. This is purely arbitrary and unconstitutional, but we live in a dictatorship, the question of whose power is considered to be "settled by the Civil War" rather than by actual law.

I guess I have to ask the question I always ask. Is there no appeal process in your state? We have 30 days to appeal
After denial. the court must put your appeal ahead of all else on the docket. If your issueing body says no is that it?
My psychology instructor is a Dr. She told the class that in order for her to get paid by the insurance company; she has to assign a mental disorder to every patient she sees. That means: Everyone who gets any kind of care from a mental health provider is going to be Stigmatized (For the rest of their lives.) as Mentally Ill.
My CCW permit is being withheld by the Catawba Co. NC. mental health dept. (3 years now.) The reason they gave me for withholding my permit is according to them; (I have a serious substance abuse problem.) I made the mistake of telling them I had smoked pot 25 years ago, and at that time 15 years ago, I drank beer at home, after work, every day. I was told that for ONLY 118 dollars I could have a substance abuse evaluation, and IF I passed I would get the permit. The director said; (It is nothing to worry about, lot's of people have to do it!) At 118 dollars each that's a lot of extortion money. I was Lied to and used for my insurance by them, and I know that I will be out 118 dollars if I were to pay the corrupt Bastards for the evaluation.
To this day, I do not have a criminal record, not even a DWI. But my name is in the mental healths departments records and I am mentally Ill by Their Standards; So Everyone Beware; If you talk to a Mental Health Provider for any reason, You will be Stigmatized as Mentally Ill Forever! PS. The 5th and 14th amendment's right to due process; The mental health people do not have to follow it. That Doctors word is the word of GOD!!
