New Guy (Gun permit)
« on: May 01, 2014, 06:35:28 PM »
Hey guys, thought i'd stop in and ask a few questions to see if they could get answered, I want to get a gun permit but was not sure if I qualified.
Never had a police record, no drug abuse or alcohol problems, I did have small case of anxiety once taking a plane trip about 2 years ago to the mainland and DR prescribed me Xanax (once) for it and after that I determined it was not anxiety but more nervousness and never took medication again nor was it recommended I do.
Would this bar me from getting a gun permit?

Much thanks guys.

Nope you will be fine. As long as your not suicidle or mentally unstable your dr should have no right to refuse your permit.

Awesome, thanks for the reply but I am no longer her patient since my job got cut from the government during the cut backs, I just finally got another job start Monday Yay, but will that be okay?
I was primarily HMSA Quest for the longest time cause I took advantage of free medical in college and never took it off, after I had my recent job I finally got to see a "Real Doctor" and it was for a short time untill I Lost my job in November 2013.
I rarely saw a Doctor cause I have never been sick (knock on wood) but she was the most recent DR I had. she does not have many records of me just of that one case of the one episode of me thinking I had anxiety lol. Should I list her or my HMSA Quest doctor?
Or does it not matter cause all of my medical records will come to fruition? My current doctor is my HMSA Quest doctor till my medical kicks in at work.

So I guess my question would be whom do I list on the paper work, Old DR or my current DR? Again I have barely been to any doctor only a few times to get my blood checked, and has always been good.


Sorry long post again thank you.

Welcome to the firearm community.  You do not need to have a doctor in order to apply for a permit.  Many people say that they don't have a doctor at the window.
