Watch out for the VA

[migtig]

I've been warning everybody in the news section of the forum for over a year now, but have gone largely ignored. If you are a vet, have friends or family members who are vets, and you seek assistance from the VA, for mental or for PHYSICAL treatment...be forewarned. You can and will be declared incompetent by the VA and can and will lose all rights to own weapons. You have to fight a legal battle to contest the VA's declaration.

Thanks from a greatful nation.

I'd like to see what the grounds are for not being able to possess a gun.

There are no formal grounds, all in the eyes of your case worker at the VA. It seems to be running the gambit from car accidents to actual PTSD. It's been going on for a while and it seems to be getting a lot worse. It seems once you are declared incompetent, it's hard to prove you aren't.

Whatever grounds the current occupant of 1600 Pa Ave., his anti-gun agenda, and his lap dog Holder tells the VA to have.

Those kind of grounds.

Lock and load, Amerika!

So now if a person with common sense really is suffering from PTSD, they won't go seek the help they need because they realize by doing so they will lose their rights.

Yup. I have a good friend that has VA-approved PTSD from Viet Nam, and a gun owner. I have warned him about this in the past year or so, and he has rejected the concept.

I hope he changes his mind.

This is just more BS....
Do YOU know anyone who has received such a letter?
I have not, and I do not know of any vets that have.

Instead of a bogus article, how about posting proof such a letter exists?

I volunteer with veteran's groups and have done so for some time and this subject has been mentioned quite a few times. I do not have a letter personally but here is some of the VA's guidance

Do some searches for yourself. This is a very legit concern.

Here's an article I posted last December


Change on veterans
Excerpt:
The Department of Veterans Affairs forwards the names of those labeled mentally incompetent to the FBI for inclusion in a national federal database, barring them from purchasing or carrying firearms.
