Posted on Reddit a month ago and got referred here, only now got around to creating an account and asking.
I got into some trouble when I was 16, I had been put on Actuane for five months when I had just turned 15, and it left me with some serious mood disorders. Going along through an awful next year, it eventually resulted in me seeing in-home therapists, which weren't very helpful. After an incident at school where I got into a shouting match with another student over something stupid, I went home angry, punching walls, yada yada. Threatened to kill myself, and then one of those therapists left and came back with a couple LEOs who took me to the local hospital, where I was admitted to the mental ward for a week. It was definitely a court order, took me a couple weeks of digging to get a straight answer out of anyone about it.
Fast forward to now, I'm about to turn 22, I enlisted with the Army when I was 18, got medically discharged when I was 19, and am currently waiting for the Surgeon General to ok my reenlistment.
Now to the actual question, will any of that nonsense when I was a teenager stop me from getting a handgun permit in NC after I fill out the AOC-SP-917 Form? I can't seem to find any information pertaining to pre-18 issues. I have purchased long rifles before with no issue, but I don't want to fill this permit out "just to see" if they allow it and then lose my ability to purchase firearms completely because the state declares me unfit to possess or something like that.
I was recommended to just apply for a CCH since they're a bit more rigid in their requirements than a purchase permit, and I might, if I can find out beforehand if this is going to be a nonissue.
Any insight at all would be great, thanks in advance!
