[QUOTE="AndrewA43, post: 4051893, member: 50638"] Touchy question with a real, factual and non- biased answer. How would it be to tell every vet who comes home from a hell not many of us can relate to- and tell him when he goes to purchase a nice range gun- “Sorry soldier , you have PTSD and therefore you can not purchase a gun. He can go die for oil but he can’t purchase a gun. On the other hand , a person who has been committed to a 72 hour stay involuntary in a psych ward for any reason can NOT ever purchase a firearm- probably for the best. Here is this humble firearm collector’s opinion- I really do feel that the operators and owners of places like Academy Sports and H&H and anyone who is licensed for FFL transfer needs to have mandatory education and training on the unmistakable, clearly unsteady and clearly unstable mindset of a human being. You chose to sell guns to earn a living I applaud that. I chose to put stents in people’s heart when they have a heart attack- but I had to assist in hundreds before I could deploy one and deploy it supervised. I had to be trained. And my point is if we put a mandatory 3 hour class in place to train anyone selling a firearm in a for profit business- the world would be safer. You might not think it but if you are centered, focused, calm, not overexcited about the $$ you about to make it is very easy to pick up on at least one or two signs that this is an unstable person in front of me (who needs help) before she can be a responsible firearm owner.
