Yes, I think it should be made known to those nearby who feel concerned about their safety. And a way must be found to confiscate weapons from an unstable person. If this person is acting erratically then the police most definitely need to be involved and get her mental illness type referrals.

Makes sense...

You would be AMAZED by how much ammo some people purchase.

Interesting. So it is possible, just have to have a really good reason why, and patience.

Thanks.

I learned something new today. Sometimes people get a permit without actually getting a gun....

This argument may not apply to ALL, but I Understand this view.

It's a strong possibility that gun laws will toughen up, and I am very much in favor of that. The wife in your comment is thinking ahead. It's not what I would stock up on but if you are a gun type person, it's time to get them while you can. I pray they become impossible to purchase, sooner rather than later. And there she will be, all set set with a personal armory.

Take out burgers and Netflix

OK, but pardon my ignorance here. Why would someone get a permit without an intention of buying a firearm? If you get a permit, and you are later diagnosed with a mental illness, are you required by law to notify someone (law enforcement, atf, fbi)?

I dont have one, so genuinely curious with all of this.

The fact whether she has a permit doesn’t answer whether she has firearms or not. I’m not sure how this information would help you. If she’s a danger to you or herself the police/her family/probate court need to be involved.

I’m so sorry

Aren’t there womens shelters if you get there early enough ?

I spoke to a man yesterday who explained his wife got her permit with no intentions of ever carrying on a regular basis—she got it so she could purchase ammo, possibly transporting a gun to him, etc. He gave me about 20 reasons.

But the biggest reason was…..gun laws are only going to get tougher so she figured she’d get it now while she could.

People are odd.

Love that game.

If there’s a pizza place you like, you can sometimes buy the dough from them. My mom did that for birthday parties for myself and my brother.

Lol thank you

People downvoting bc evil capitalism 🤣

Absolutely not. Firearms are one of the most valuable items a thief can steal, and I'm not talking in terms of money. People intent on committing crime cannot (usually) legally buy a gun, and will pay top dollar for one on the black market.

You can file a civil bill of discovery and subpoena the state for the information, if a judge agrees you need it.

The question was whether the person has a permit, not a list of what they have in their home.

Yeah heartbreaking and have Chronic illness too

According to the police department, they aren't allowed to disclose that information. But the officer could be wrong.

I think if it's escalated to the point where police or government entities need to be involved anyway, there's a deeper issue where the subject may have come up anyway. Personally, if I was being erratic and had a gun, I'd hope that the police would inform those around me that I was erratic and owned a gun. As far as I know, there's no privacy law that prevents that from happening. We live in an age where privacy is becoming an increasingly rare commodity whether we like it or not, trust is the same way. Obviously, if you have a neighbor acting dangerously, that's a problem and concern is wise, but holding everyone to the same strict rules is, in my humble opinion, a bad idea.

Yeah but I'm not looking for anyone at that age

Lol not that weekend

That and elbow room were the only place to meet anyone. The rest are mainly restaurants

What is that?
