Thread: Licensing and mental illness

My mother hates firearms with a passion. I had her as a referee for my license as I was still living with her at the time and had to have a family member. I wasn't sure if she was gonna try and stop me from getting it. But she said she doesnt like them personally but has no problem with them. And did mention in my last year of high school I had mild depression (2 or 3 years before I applied). I found out I couldn't be a Comercial pilot. Wasn't bad and didn't go on meds. I didn't know mum told the guy who interviewed me. I mentioned it when he asked. Didn't seem to be a problem. I will happily be a reference for anyone wanting a firearms license. ESPECIALLY if I do not think they are not fit and propper.It is up to us to maintain the integrity of the system.
