First of all, I am on an iPad and in a hurry, so I apologize if I am posting a new thread contrary to rules and contrary to desires. I have a situation and am very confused about it.
Here it is: 14 years ago I was transported by a police officer to an ER because I was drunk and depressed over a recent breakup with a girl. I spoke with a Dr. I advised I was not suicidal nor homicidal and had no ideals of wanting to die or hurt anyone. He then decided that he wanted me to admit myself to a hospital where they had a section for mental health in-patient treatment.I declined.He then involuntarily committed me. Since that point in my young life I have obtained a degree in criminal justice, bought many firearms, had a permit to carry concealed for over 8 years, and now work as a corrections officer. I attempted to purchase a rifle and was declined. The FBI told me it was due to that original 72 hour commitment where the psychiatrist then discharged me due to having to reason or desire to admit me beyond the 72 hour hold to have me assessed. Now my life and job and freedom are in jeopardy. I repeatedly denied any desire for suicide or harming anyone during my stay. I was released without any medications, or stipulations. I am now being treated suddenly like I am worse than a murderer and will probably lose my job and have already been deprived of constitutional rights both during what I believe was a flagrant "jailing" of my person and now with regard to my rights to both purchase and apparently own firearms for self defense regardless of the fact I have been doing both for 10 years and am a law abiding an citizen and correctional officer. I own firearms and although my ccw permit out of west virginia is no longer valid as of about a week ago due to having moved to KY and changed my license over, I have had one for about 8 years. I have carried and owned and shot and purchased all typed of firearms over the last decade without so much as being delayed. Now suddenly I am being denied for an involuntary commitment occurring in the late 90's or early 2000's. I don't specifically remember the date. I am even unsure by the FBI response to my reason for denial request as to how to even get the information for the 3rd party state I lived in many years ago when the issue occurred.
Please, I realize I am new here, but my wife and child and myself are desperate to prevent another issues causing us to be homeless again. I am just now rebuilding our life after losing our home in wv which caused our move to ky. Now, I am facing a complete destruction of both my time put into a criminal justice degree, my job as a deputy jailer, and our life and apartment. Any help is appreciated. Otherwise, I have basically failed my family again. I can't face that again. Thank you in advance for any assistance given, and again I apologize if in my haste and desperation I have misposted or incorrectly posted.
