I noticed that part of the application asks for any mental health issues the applicant may have seen a doctor for.

Anyone here have experience with this?

Say the applicant has visited a doc about anxiety/ADHD-- would this void the application?

You don't need a license when there is an evacuation order present in the State

Will need a statement from Dr prescribing rx. If in my bosses case the dr wouldn’t submit statememt, you can reapply without those questions marked yes and they will issue. Boss is bat shite crazy and in no way should carry but he found a work around. Guy walked into his house a couple months ago and saw his mirror image and killed it.

I went to the ccw class. But after looking at the application form, I think I will forget about it. 30 day stay in drug treatment back in the 80's, plus a couple of divorces. Too many things to track down. They sure don't make it easy.

I take medicine for depression and was able to get mine in both Louisiana and now Tennessee. In Louisiana I had to go to my therapist and talk with him and get him to sign off on a form so I could get the permit.

Several people told me to doc-shop and just find a doctor to throw a couple bucks to and they would sign it, but I wouldn't recommend that.

To answer your question, it should not void your application. I don't know your situation, but unless you're extremely suicidal or have some other issues, it shouldn't be a problem.

ETA: OP if you have trouble, I can give you the name of my doctor in BR. You would still have to get an appointment and go in and chat with him, but he's a cool guy. As I said, unless you have serious issues that legitimately should prohibit you from being able to carry, it would not be an issue.

If you ever took an anti depressant, anxiolytic or antipsychotic medication you have to get a doctor sign off every time you reapply for your CHP. Doesn't matter if you took it once, you are suppose to report. It is also getting harder and harder to get a doctor to do this for you, one the doctors organizations are anti gun, second they recommend that doctors not sign off due to liability and now hospital systems are prohibiting their doctors from filling out the forms. On my Oschner paperwork now it has a big notice about not letting their doctors do a host of things like evaluate for disability, and one of them is to fill out paperwork for a gun permit of any kind.
