Is it possible to get a carry license with PTSD

I don't think you'll have an issue. I don't recall any medical records involved with the application process.

The app does ask if you are being treated for any mental problems. It is worded differently than that, but it does ask. Good luck

PTSD is a broad and misinterpreted condition. Being treated for, or diagnosed with, PTSD in and of itself does not satisfy the conditions spelled out in the SDA application.

For clarity. It’s doesn’t ask if you are being treated for any mental problems. It specifically defines certain mental problems.

In conversations that I've had with Afgan War Vets they were coersed by miltary doctors into claiming symtoms that would classify them with PTSD. I'm not sure if that would benefit your or not.

I have PTSD from reading the recent Warrantless search thread….

I suppose that might have happened. I was never coerced and do not personally know anyone who was. I do know many who willingly sought help with symptoms because we are finally gaining ground against the stigma of PTSD. I’ve also met a few who proudly admitted that they exaggerated things in order to cash in on a VA check.

PTSD is normal and far more common than folks realize and the overwhelming majority of folks who are, or could be, diagnosed with it live completely normal and happy lives.

I work for the GVT and a vast majority of my co-workers have been diagnosed with PTSD but are competent to work for the GVT and are gun owners. You know you, do you feel comfortable with any weapon in your home?

Don’t listen to the BS. People just assume.

I’m a disabled veteran with PTSD. My renewal was signed off by my VA Doctor. You have nothing to worry about. Just print off the form, talk to you doc, and you’ll be good to go!
