This question surely raises a cunundrum.
I used to say I had a ‘piece of paper’ saying I was sane as I took and passed the psych test as part of qualifying for Submarine Service.
Recently I have openly admitted that the test proves I -or one of us- is actually crazy as a sane person certainly wouldn’t place himself in a steel tube and allow himself to be ‘sunk’ for long periods of time, jump out of perfectly good airplanes, or, much the same as SEALs, SPEC OPS, etc must have a touch of insanity (of the same respect) as the normal wimp wouldn’t dream of doing what they ACTUALLY do.
Add to the mix that I was a very good High Speed Morse Code Operator and - in their eyes - I must be a raving lunatic.
I have ‘worried’ for awhile that those that have ‘accepted’ PTSD status are going to be in danger of losing their 2nd Amendment rights, as Ayn Rand so graciously put it - ‘make enough stupid laws and eventually everyone is a criminal’.
I got an email a few dyas ago about this. A diagnosis of PTSD most likely will keep you from owning a gun.
Guess who this will affect most?
I work in the veteran and family world and I’ve seen more determinations of incompetency (for fiduciary reasons) by the VA for PTSD claims lately, which results in loss of 2A rights.
