i am new application, they need letter from doctor to support qualification,

 

[GOYABEAN]

what contact number?

My probably would be better off contacting a Firearms Attorney as a starting point. I'm sure that's a lot easier to find than a Dr

Wondering if the boys in Buffalo on the social media beat are reading this thread lol.

What was the reason your primary Dr. and psychiatrist gave as to why they didn't want to write this letter for you?
Are you still seeking treatments/ RX ?

"psychiatrist" if your seeing one they would be the person.

Is English your first language? Or is this a fabrication? Please excuse my cynacism.

I belive the only reason you would need a letter from a doc is if you have had mental health issues that are are no longer deemed an issue. Is this correct?

"i live nyc"

You are crazy. No hope for you.

I hope it isn't. This individual appears to maybe be a teacher. Best of luck to you if this is real. I am somewhat gun shy of new posts like this based on my recent experience.

i see one but she does not write it clear, just saying i am on treatment and see doctor regularly

Best of luck to you. A doctor doesn’t want the liability to write you a letter saying you are fit to own a firearm.

I've always wanted to create that thread that ends up in the thousands of posts. I fear this one may be it. Damn.

I tried with the monkey pox one and it disappointed.

But seriously...

This really angers me. Because all this does is discourage people who need mental health services from seeking it out.

If you have anxiety you should feel confident to seek treatment and know that your rights will still be protected.

This is extremely frustrating the position gov puts us in. There are people who absolutely need mental health services but are ignoring it or self medicating because they know if they try to better themselves they're at very real risk of going to lose their guns. That's an absolute tragedy to me. This issue is very frustrating.

Exactly right.

Just wanted to chime in and say you NYGF regulars are such a nice group of Deplorables who would've thunk?

You might get a lot of opinions but they carry zero weight on a matter like this.
Call a legal counsel and they will point you in the right direction including investigating if you have been discriminated by a health professional.

most police and military are on meds for anxiety, insomnia, seasonal mood, etc ... so imagine if people wo history of hospitalization or severe illness could not get a gun.
The amount of lawsuits and liability at the criminal level would create a shitstorm like a blue whale pod with diarrhea.

that is problem,
