Which would seem to be a very good reason to not report it since GC 411 places no particular restrictions on someone having received treatment. Especially if it’s not inpatient. Someone playing it safe may want to get AZ or Florida and carry under that until the 5 years is up.

If we can’t get unlicensed carry we should at least make the restrictions no different than required for possession federally.

You have a chance to dispute the denial but not a chance to ask for an exemption of the laws in place. Read exactly what the paper the sent you in the mail says. A phone call for the purpose of notification is merely flapping gums on the other end.

I suspect they may be using the paraphernalia charge and PI as indicator that the OP may be a drug dependent person and now they want him essentially to "prove a negative" (that he's not). Of course, there could be other info we don't have. But if they had a clear legal reason to deny him they wouldn't have sent it to MAB, they would have just rejected it and let him appeal.

And to original poster: Thank you for your service, to a Marine, from a Navy vet.
