Hi guys, I have wanted to own a gun for a long time I don’t live in a safe area and as a single female who lives alone I feel like it would make me feel safer.
When I was 15 I was living in CA, and I was committed to a mental institution for depression and self harm. I remember signing a court document saying I could not own a gun or live in a household with a gun for five years.
Fast forward now I’m 20 I worked through all that stuff from when I was a teen, and I’m turning 21 soon the legal age in Washington to own a gun.
So if I go to purchase a weapon and they do a NICS check on me will I get rejected? Should I just risk it and go down and try to buy a gun? I can’t find any information on the court order, I just remember it said five years after the incident. I do know all the laws with mental illness and guns are changing or in the process of being changed so I was just wondering if any of you had any idea?? Thanks a lot.
