Help How to get a fucking gun

[PsychWardSlayer]

Keepin' it short. How can I get my hands on a revolver in Indiana if I was in inpatient 3 months ago? Every other method is too risky or too complicated. Chemo fried my brain. Thanks!

Unfortunately for you since you were committed to a mental institution you can't buy firearms anywhere in the US for a minimum of five years (if it was voluntary if it was involuntary your screwed). Your best course of action would be to get your records expunged.

I live in Texas and was held for 72 hours officially (5 days in reality due to weekends/holidays/weather combo) in January. A couple of months later, in early summer, I purchased a handgun. We do not require licenses in TX but I did require a background check because I do not have one. There was no issue.

Find a private buyer. Most people will understand you want it for protection.

After researching your state's gun laws, it is very lax considering different states have different gun control policies. This one has the least restrictive but FYI in most states, private sales are legal.

There doesn't seem to be a requirement for conceal carry permits. I don't think they apply to revolvers but I don't know.

No offense but I have a background that would prohibit me from owning a gun (American drug possession laws prohibit ownership for a time) and had a felony on my record and got that repealed from it.... And own a handgun ready at my desire.

It is NOT hard to find a private buyer anywhere in the US who will sell to you without the red tape the gun shops go through.

It's interesting how the other person thinks they know, doesn't know.... :/

In the US, getting a gun is like finding candy at a candy store if you know who to ask.... And gun shops are not the way to go if you don't want paper trail....

There are forums and classifieds for guns if you are diligent about searching. Since I'm not from Indiana, I can't recommend anything I've never used.

I did find the handgun I wanted this way in my state for less than $300. I didn't have to drive more than 3 miles to meet my buyer and at most they ask you to sign a bill of sale that proves they transferred ownership in a purchase. It's more to protect the seller in case the buyer does something reckless.

My reply was only for FFL dealers not private sales, plus some states prohibit private sales for that exact reason (no background check required). The state that your in matters a lot so no it's not "everywhere in the US". In my state you can only buy firearms from licensed dealers and if it's a private transaction it must go down at FFL and background checks are required.

Did you truthfully fill out the 4473 or have your record expunged? you also live in a pro gun state so I don't know if you got a private sale. And again my reply was for anyone who wants to purchase from a licensed dealer aka gun shops.

Let me guess private sale, you live in a pro gun state. And again my reply was for anyone who wants to purchase from a licensed dealer.

Most states in the US are pro gun states. I'm not including New York, California, Illinois, or Baltimore where there gun laws are based on their gun crimes.

If common sense means anything to you, black markets operate in states where gun laws are most restrictive too and will sell a gun to anyone. Again, the laws itself, at least in the US, because of 2A, opens up a world to firearms that most of the world will never understand.

A 12 year old can buy a pistol from their friends dad and no one is the wiser.... Or if the adult is brave and wants to travel states to acquire it privately but wants to illegally import it, that's their business.

I can't encourage such actions but point out the options. It's up the user to make a choice.

Telling him he can't based off your interpretation of rules and policy is very interesting, because just because it's hard, doesn't mean they can't explore the option if they want.

Btw, if you ctb, buying from a dealer just leaves a paper trail to everything and if you do survive, that's a legal nightmare you have to deal with. In my opinion, that shouldn't be an option, but what do I know? It's like going to wal mart to buy a shotgun to do it.... And yes I know how ridiculous that set up is.... But it's a metaphor to establish my point.
Why so judgemental about it? Especially if you were pro choice and not pro political agenda. :p

If they wanted to buy from a gun shop then my reply wasn't wrong. I'm not going to encourage or tell them to get it illegally cause it could get them into shit and I didn't mention anything about private sales because I'm not aware of OP's states gun laws. Oh and btw in order to buy a gun off the black market (and not get scammed or robbed) you need connections. There are many people who will pray on people who want to get guns illegally because most who do aren't street smart and are desperate. If you live in an anti gun state like I do your best bet is to abide by the law or move. Oh and btw nearly half of all states have universal background checks. So I was going on a whim.

Why so judgemental about it? Especially if you were pro choice and not pro political agenda. :p

What the fuck are you even talking about. How does this have anything to do with being pro or anti choice.

But is it legal to own a gun from a private seller without going through red tape?

 

[slowlydying2mrrw]

But is it legal to own a gun from a private seller without going through red tape?

Yes. State laws have their own laws for gun control such as controll carry permits, and in certain states, they limit the functionality of the gun.

With Federal law (2nd Amendment), you have the right to bare arms and protect yourself. A revolver is probably the one firearm that could fly under the radar in a gun controlled state for not violating state laws.

If you find a private buyer and exchange or transact, it is not illegal.

 

[slowlydying2mrrw]

If they wanted to buy from a gun shop then my reply wasn't wrong.

They were asking for simple methods. A gun shop isn't one, especially if the state has lots of red tape on background checks.

I'm not going to encourage or tell them to get it illegally cause it could get them into shit and I didn't mention anything about private sales because I'm not aware of OP's states gun laws.

No one said you had to. You gave false advice based on second hand knowledge. It comes off as, don't even try if you were released from a mental institute. That's not constructive from a pro choice perspective. Only an opinion.

If you are familiar with 2A and not anti 2A/pro gun regulation, then you would be aware that it didn't matter what state they were in. It's not a federal crime to transact privately for a pistol. You're so good at Google, you should know that. :/

Oh and btw in order to buy a gun off the black market (and not get scammed or robbed) you need connections. There are many people who will pray on people who want to get guns illegally because most who do aren't street smart and are desperate. If you live in an anti gun state like I do your best bet is to abide by the law or move.

I'm convinced you are anti gun, pro gun regulation, but don't understand anything about firearms and their history.

Those things are common sense, but the crazy thing about black markets, is they exist more in states like yours. Yes, you do need connections, hence I suggested "private sales" via "classified or forums related to private firearm sales".

Not everyone knows a coke dealer named Charles who can sell his brothers any gun they want. And I wouldn't recommend anyone use the dark web. I think you listen with fear and not knowledge.

Oh and btw nearly half of all states have universal background checks. So I was going on a whim.View attachment 189468

What the fuck are you even talking about. How does this have anything to do with being pro or anti choice.

Background checks apply to criminal records and past criminal organization affiliations. Not mental health institute intakes or admissions they have had.

What Are You Talking About?

Your reply was "he could get denied, so don't waste time".

Next person walks in from Texas, has a similar experience, passed his background check.

If the person lives in Colorado, well Utah and Wyoming are gun friendly states. I never encouraged people to go that far to get what they need.

But go ahead and criticise how illegal it can be to import a gun. And yes, there are risks to that. To each their own. At least I'm not passing off flagrant advice as truth.

Since this background check rant is blowing out of proportional sense, the risk of owning a regulated firearm, isn't that if you succeed/fail at ctb, that something worse happens to you or your family.

It's if it gets stolen, used in a crime, then the serial numbers link to the owner on paper (these gun registry go through the ATF) and will most likely link you to the crime. Now you have a possible murder trial to defend.

Look at my profile picture lmao, just shout ad hominems, I'm not anti gun. I literally wrote a whole megathread telling people how to properly kill themselves with firearms. What a bold assumption though, anti gun cause I didn't mention private sales. He must be anti gun lmao. What a brain you got.

"he could get denied, so don't waste time".

The point of using quotes is to state an exact phrase that was said, not paraphrasing or pulling assumptions out of your ass.

You looking through a telescope . I quoted all the references to my opinions. I didn't shout ad hominems, you did. Flagrant babble about how hard it will be to get a gun because they were admitted to a mental institution when in reality, it is not as hard as you described.

I think you just don't like being wrong, and that's OK. I'm fine with being wrong. :)

Blind too? Pointing a rifle at my head. I'm pretty sure you're the only one who threw labels after an argument over background checks.

Blind? No, I'm just being a retard who doesn't care if you own a gun and want to shoot yourself. I gave the person facts, you spread ad hominems.

A Mossberg would work better by the way

And if you bought your rifle at a wal mart, you proved my metaphor on point. :P be sure to burn the sales receipt.

Ummmm I insulted my brain capacity. You questioned my sight. Did you forget?

Are you done crying yet lol? If you need validation, then ok, I'm wrong. Happy? Just know that background checks don't really look into psychiatric treatment. That's just giving false info.

Can only buy guns from FFL's in my state, a paper trail won't matter because I'll be dead.

You're right they don't look into treatment, they look into commitments. Whether one counts that as treatment is up to them. But since you started this whole ridiculous bicker match I'll end it. Have a nice day "Queen Bitch of the Universe".

Good luck

You're right they don't look into treatment, they look into commitments. Whether one counts that as treatment is up to them. But since you started this whole ridiculous bicker match I'll end it. Have a nice day "Queen Bitch of the Universe".

A commitment is court ordered and insinuates you were in the court system. Crimes where the person was mostly like guilty but given a psychiatric evaluation and deemed "insane or mentally incompetent" for prison.

That is different than an involuntary commitment that is being given to someone suicidal. But that is private treatment, even in an incarcerated setting.

See, simple phrasing makes a difference. It's easy to confuse people over stuff you think you know. Only you need to think you are right, which is why you are bickering. Maybe you need to deal with it instead projecting. :/

Wish I could get a gun in ct ;(. I'll never get it cus I was forced into the psych ward where they damaged me forever. Gun laws are so strict here and I don't think I'd be able to find a private seller.

All firearm transactions in Connecticut (including private ones) require a background check. You could try to maybe get it expunged.

It's really not that hard. I live in the shithole that is illinois and was hospitalised in 2023 and still managed to get a gun this spring.

 

[OnMyLast Legs]

Where I live there's basically gun Craigslist

 

[M19R]

Truthfully im planning on my roommates gun if things get too. I know where she keeps it normally and of she feels guilty afterward ill be gone for that part
Worst case scenario you could try at a gun range most have guns there you can rent by the hour. It wouldn't be private and youd have to act like you were fine right up until the moment but if your aim is good theres nothing they can do fast enough to save you once the bullet is fired

Thank you but it does sound like depending on the state it could actually be illegal, even though we have a constitutional right to bare arms.
