So what would you do?

[criticalbass]

One of the recent "shooting sprees" was committed by a CCW holder. It was in the Pacific Northwest if I recall correctly, and a relative was quoted as saying something to the effect that the guy had some "issues."

So, if a concealed carry authorized relative or close friend of yours started acting irrationally (this does not include things like plans to marry . . .), what, if anything, would you consider doing?

For me, this is a tough question, and one I hope never to have to deal with. What are your thoughts? CB

Report him. I would also keep a close eye on him if I could not trust him and try to keep my distance.

What can we do here in Oklahoma? Who would we report the person to, the local Sherrif? May soon be dealing with a problem myself. So any ideas may just come in handy.

Treat him like Barney and keep his gun empty and only allow him one bullet in his pocket.

If he is truly a close friend or relative. Then I would talk to them and feel them out, also it would be pretty easy to notice them acting weird. I would also take all their guns from them. I know of family members on medication that had their guns taken out of their home until everyone knew they were themselves again.

Visit with a physician or mental health professional. Explore options with them.

How are you going to take someone's guns away from them?

Report him.

Its best to let someone in local authority know his problem. Check with his doctor and any close family member living with him on how are his actions at home.
Help him to find assistance with his problems. Alert the County mental health unit. They will give suggestions to you and to him how to deal what is going on in his life.
Then pray for him and that's all you can do.

WOW ...that could be almost everyone on this site...
An Honest talk if they were a friend.make decisions together, unless irrational
A watchful eye for a casual aquantaince..let some closer to them know whats going on
Does anyone check their own...issues and rationality?
