Not sure if this belongs in Legal, but I was watching the local news tonight, and they mentioned something I have never heard. The Little Rock police had met with some reps of the city to express their desires for future legislation. One of their desires was for clarity on how to return a firearm to a qualified person when the firearm was seized from a "mentally incompetent" person.
The weird comment was this: Arkansas doesn't require mental health checks as a prerequisite of gun ownership like some other states do.
My question is there any state that requires an individual to undergo a mental health evaluation prior to purchase?
I know not to expect them to know what they're talking about, but it irritates me when they just spout inaccuracies as fact.
