The question is just so vague, and it caught me off guard since I wasn't expecting this much of a probe for something a background check would try to find anyway. I'm just a compulsively honest guy, which unfortunately wasn't healthy in this situation. I haven't actually filled out the form yet, but since the detective I talked to handles the forms I can't exactly answer No to 26 now. I'm not "settled down" yet so I think my best bet is to wait and try again later, either after I'm forgotten here or more likely if I move to another town or out of state. Don't really have the money to shell out for a lawyer at this point. Also, the other question was whether a NJ denial shows up in any other state on a background check. I don't know if anyone knows since this is, well, New Jersey but can't hurt to ask

Yeah, I read over that other thread. I don't think it'll go that far since my therapist definitely won't slander me like that. I'd answer no if I had the choice now, but the detective I spoke to is actually in charge of the applications so...all I can do now is make it look as good as possible. If it DOES go that far though, I want to know if a denial would affect me in the future in another state. Part of me can't believe I even have to ask these questions; I mean, it's a right and I've never even had anything worse than a speeding ticket. It should be a no-brainer. But you're all NJ gun owners, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you haven't shaken your heads at time and again.

Hi everyone! Hopeful new gun owner here, trying to get through the process and I have a question. I've seen a therapist for just general things on and off for a while after a divorce. Never been committed or institutionalized or anything even close to major like that, never arrested or had any legal issues with mental whatever. Just voluntary stuff. However, like an idiot, when I looked over the form in the police station I asked about the details of question 26, which asks about being treated for mental conditions. I honestly didn't know how to answer, since my therapist was forced to give me a diagnosis for my health insurance. Fortunately, I seem to have a very nice and helpful detective at my local PD who invited me back behind the glass and sat down with me for like 10 minutes to discuss my concerns, and she seemed pretty empathetic. She'd need to send forms to the therapists I saw and all that, but I'm confident in their support. My question is this: there's still a chance for denial, I'm sure, and this license is sort of to get me started and tide me over for a year or so when I plan to move out west. I love to target shoot and want it to be a part of my life. But I've heard that a denial in NJ will show up on a background check in another state, and possibly affect any future sales. Is there any truth to this that anyone knows of? If so, is it worth pursuing a FID card if I don't plan on making NJ my permanent residence? Sorry my first post is this long tome. Any help is appreciated.
