Can Someone Own a Gun in California if They Went to Rehab for Their Previous Drug Addiction?
Question by thelema93: Can someone own a gun in California if they went to rehab for their previous drug addiction?
Under California state law, a person may not own a firearm if they are addicted to the use of any narcotic drug. If this person was arrested for possession in another state as a minor, went to rehab voluntarily, had their record sealed and the charges dismissed, is this enough to disqualify them from owning a firearm in California?
As a further question, people have been committed to a mental institution are disqualified from possessing firearms. If someone voluntarily entered a psychiatric ward for a single night in a different state, is this person considered to have been “committed” for the purposes of gun ownership?

I believe you can still get one, but it will require an amount of time (years) after your rehab for you to apply for a license. But then you would really have to have a good reason for needing one since you already got a bad record.
And I seriously doubt that ANY state will allow a mentally ill person to carry a firearm. That is just plain idiotic.
