Seeking a discussion/information on drivers licenses.

[chknltl]

7. FWIW I wasn't really seeking discussion about my brother

I was seeking discussion about our mentally handicapped and our current state of affairs when it comes to their ability to determine their own destinies. Our society is ever evolving, as is our needs. Mental health issues are growing rapidly within our society, I'll argue that our ways of dealing with them need a re-examination.

I use my own brother as an example, I could just as easily have used myself. I am 100% disabled, PTSD/Manic Depressive. Unlike Jeff I DO take my meds, they help. That said if I chose to stop taking those meds NOBODY can by any law or regulation make me take them. Trust me, I intend to keep taking my meds but the point is I have a drivers license, I can get a permit to carry a concealed weapon too regardless of my eating my meds.

Is it me or is there something inherently obscene with the notion that I can LEGALLY go off my meds, drive my truck down to any gun shop I want to, walk in and purchase a firearm?!? My brother Jeff is in far worse shape than I am but....well you see my point? How many of us are out there? Especially after our society enduring two wars over in the middle east. Others may think me strange for saying it but I think this is a problem-a problem our society should be talking about.
