Mental Health Evaluation - can anyone recomend a doctor?

[seanbarton]

Hello,

I am looking for a recomendation for a psyciatrist to evaluate me prior to going to a CCDW Denial Appeal hearing. Does anyone know a psyciatrist that is pro 2a? I'm not looking for any favors just an honest evaluation of my mental state. My application was recomended to be denied by the DA and I anticipate the court will concur.

Thanks,
Sean

I just shot you a PM.

did they give you a reason for the denial

[seanbarton]

Thanks for the feedback and assistance. The letter I recieved was from the DA not the court. The DA is recomending denial based on past mental health history.

Thanks,
Sean

I think you need to get a good second amendment lawyer.  A good lawyer should also have contacts with a good honest psychiatric evaluator.  This will not be cheap but I think this is your best chance. The fact that you have had a license for 8 years without issue should go a long way.

Been there / done the lawyer routine last year when my renewal was denied. I ended up spending over $10,000 and got screwed over. I've re-applied and am ready to go talk to the judge. I want to be evaluated so I'll have that in my favor.

Thanks,
Sean

did you have something show up on your personal record during the time when you had your liecense for them to have a reason to deny you?

[seanbarton]

Nope, nothing. I had a speeding ticket in PA in 2011. That's

[seanbarton]

Yes, I'm in N.C.C.

Yep, got the courts denial letter today.  Sending request for court date tomorrow.  Does anyone know out can anyone recomend a mental health doctor in Delaware that will evaluate me?  While I don't think I need it, I think it might help my case.

Thanks,

Is it possible that someone with your name (or similar name) has been mixed up with you?  Can you find out just what the details of your denial are?  That may help you in your appeal.

It's related to my mental health history. I was treated for depression in a hospital in 2000. I checked myself in. It's rediculous. I was seeing a doctor and it was a medication side affect. I was never adjudicated mentally ill BUT am willing to be evaluated if that will make any difference to the court. I had a permit for 8 years. My renewal was denied last year. I got a lawyer, spent a smal fortune fighting it and ended up being denied a trial. I've re-applied and would like to speak to the judge. I've been a model citizen and have a need for the permit now more than ever.  I own rentals, collect rent and would rather not open carry.

Good luck.  So, you were approved for the initial application and one renewal with the same history.  Your 16 year history of an uneventful and responsible life should help you.

Apparently the DA is investigating all renewals and new applicants in this aspect of history, regardless of past approvals
