Virginia | Civil Rights Law
Legal Question
I'm trying to determine my rights in purchasing a gun/ getting a hunting license, in the state of Virginia. A car accident in North Carolina preceded a hospital mandating me to stay for 6 days under "suicide watch until a judge signed for my release" after misdiagnosing me as suicidal. I have been told people who have been held involuntarily in medical centers cannot ever purchase a firearm or concealed weapon permit, but upon contacting the court was told they couldn't find any record of court involvement in this matter. How can I find out for certain whether I can purchase these, or of whether the hospital really registered me as "mentally incapacitated" after the auto accident through the court?
Any information is appreciated greatly. Michelle C.
