Newb Question Re: prior 5150 and recent purchase of 870
Hey Calgunners,
I recently found an deal I couldn't pass up. A nice 870 for $250. I am wondering if my prior 5150 will cause any problems even though it has been more than 5 years since the incident? I am mostly concerned about making a fool out of myself at our local FTF. If I am rejected, what course of actions will be necessary? Also, I havent had my address changed on my drivers liscence since my last move (about 3 weeks ago), will this be a problem? Thanks for any advice, I have searched around for my answers but nothing really covers my specifics.
Some cliff notes on my incident: I was heavily medicated after a tendon surgery, became addicted to vicodine, as a result became depressed, too many pills, woke up in a 14 day hold. I was evaluated, released. Rinse repeat. I was placed on anti depressants, I don't remember much of the next 2 years (I'm told lithium has that effect on people) but i remember waking up in a psych ward in placer county, surrounded by people who scare me (lol). It was like a movie in that, I was trying to convince the counselors that I wasn't crazy and although I wasn't exactly sure what had happened, I knew I didn't belong around the people who mumbled to themselves and threw **** on the walls.... Of course the response i got was "sure buddy, we haven't heard that one before..."
, they monitored me for about 5 days, and released me and haven't had an issue since. I now work 40hrs a week, own a few vehicles, have custody of my child. Am I now what is considered to be a successful upstanding citizen, with rights and everything? The fore- mentioned incident took place about 8 years ago.
