There are ways to accomplish the same thing that does not trigger this bogus prohibition:If a fiduciary is named by the VA to manage a vet's VA benefits, the VA notified NICS and that person is prohibited. I don't see how this can be called an "adjudication", as required by 18 USC 922
The VA also reports any veteran who seeks counseling for PTSD through the VA.They're already doing this to our veterans.

There are ways to accomplish the same thing that does not trigger this bogus prohibition:
Simply have all benefits deposited to a joint checking account, with the person who is managing the vet's (or SS recipient's) finances as the other signatory.
Do not fill out a "fidiciuary application" with the VA, but rather have a durable power of attorney.
And, throw in a health care proxy to round things out.

Some states ban anyone who gets treated for alcohol abuse too. The list of abuses is long and getting longer.

From someone who applied for a permit and was denied because the VA squids he had been treated for PTSD.No they don't. Where did you hear that?
I hope Trump has been working out his writing hand.
He's going to need it .
That and any monkey in these agencies complicit in this crap needs to find out what it takes to make it in the private sector.
Drain that swamp baby.
VA got busted delaying permit renewals for NC veterans. They kept sending firms back to SO's and requesting other forms that were not required by law.No need for that, he can always use O's doctrine of "I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone".

Took a call from Senator's office to stop that crap.
Apparently all veterans permit applications also go through the VA. that much is true.
Veterans are better off going outside the VA anyway.

Senator Burr.Can you cite a news story from a legitimate source, or a VA directive, or a state law to support this? What was the Senator's name? Did he issue a press release? These stories never seem to pan out.
It's almost always the case that these stories have a grain of truth (i.e. the tiny proportion VHA enrollees deemed unable to manage their finances and reported to NICS) which people wrongly generalize to all veterans.
Senator Burr.
My neighbor was one if the veterans whose renewal was delayed by the VA. Not DC but a regional office in the state.
Mental background checks are required in NC and fir anyone who is a veteran has their application sent to the VA as well.
Never made the news because once Senator Burr got involved the delays stopped.

Yes we have to sign a release for those records. It may be a remnant from when democrats controlled the house, Senate, and governor office but still managed to pass CC permit.Wow, NC is messed up! Does everyone who applies for a permit have to sign a release for medical records? Does the sheriff literally get printouts of all your doctor's notes, inpatient progress reports, etc., and read and interpret them? That is creepy as hell.
I know the VA has its own form for release of medical records. They would never accept some NC state form, so I wonder if the delay was a technicality.
Whatever he got denied for, it wasn't simply for mental health treatment in the VHA. I hope no veteran reads this and defers treatment based on bad info.
