My name is Sean. I'm new to this site. I am joining after 8 years of CCDW in Delaware. Just received a renewal denial and will be pursuing the court option to discuss the situation.
The situation:
I was sexually abused as a child. I went through phychiatric treatment in the late 90's / early 2000's. While undergoing a variety of medications meant to treat depression and anxiety I became suicidal and required treatment in hospitals twice. The state's attorney investigator, while processing my renewal, called me and specifically asked me about two incidents from 2000 and 2001 involving 911 calls made on my behalf involving suicidal ideations. I believe the whole ordeal was the result of the various medications I was prescribed. I ended up working out my issues at a place called S.O.A.R. and was able to come to grips with what had happened to me. I no longer take any medications and have been able to maintain employment at the same job going on 9 years now.
I intend on going to court over the denial and hearing what the state's attorney has to argue. I can't believe these items where never raised as concerns during the initial permit application or the first renewal 5 years ago. Perhaps the judge will intervene and grant the permit after hearing my case. For the purpose of the apeal should I seek a phychiatric evaluation to prove I am no longer a danger to myself or others? I am also permitted in PA which I assume I will not be able to renew if the DE denial is not reversed. I was never committed to any hospitals and had checked myself in for treatment after both incidents. There is nothing else on my record.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Sean
