Hopefully this is the correct forum for this, if not I apologize and please move
I moved to Indiana a year ago from Illinois. I've had my carry permit in Illinois for years. Never considered I'd have an issue getting one here right? Wrong!
The question regarding mental health is so frustratingly vague. Basically I've had a diagnosis of depression for years. I have never had any tendencies to violence toward myself or others, with or without medication. I've never been anything less than a productive member of society
Problem is that my current doctor or my previous one will write me a letter stating that I am not a possible harm to myself or others. Not because of me, but both doctors said they won't write those kind of letters. My current doctor wrote a letter stating my diagnosis, my 1 medication and dosage and that I am doing well.
DENIED
Not good enough apparently. So I appealed and have a hearing on the 19th. My question is how do I prove my competency when I can't find a doctor willing to write a letter like that.
I have an inquiry into the firearm license unit also but figured people here might have come across this before. I am very discouraged and feel like I am being punished for being honest and seeking help for a mild case of a disease that is out of my control
