“Do most gun ranges have any restrictions on people with histories of mental illness?”
Back in the mid 80’s AIDs was becoming recognized. Because of the AIDs epidemic, medical privacy started to became a major issue and somehow privacy for those with mental illness became part of that argument.(Guess it made for a better sell.)
(Since then we got the HITECH act that gave us electronic medical records. The lobbyist for HITECH were the data mining people. I guess eventually we will have no medical privacy.)
As it stands now, I don’t know of any exemptions to the Federal privacy rules where by mental illness can even be reported to authorities let alone gun retailers.
Interesting. I didn’t know about that back history.
