New member question voluntary drug rehab

[2Amontgomerycounty]

I was at a low point in my life a few years ago and I was homeless . A friend recommended I go to a drug rehab instead of a shelter ( rehab helps with housing and other personal issues ) I've been clean 4 years now and as of August obtain a job that requires me to get a wear and carry . I guess my question is will the rehab disqualify me from such license ?

Seriously just wanted to jump on here and say 'Congrats! and Well Done!'

What a great personal statement. My Grand'dad was beaten down by alcohol. I admire your determination to overcome!

While I don’t know the answer and won’t guess at it I respect the OP greatly for his upward climb out.

You need to look at MSP Form 77R to see if you meet the requirements to purchase a handgun.

That should give you a good idea if you can qualify for a wear and carry permit.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy the content,

Your question, it would depend on how you carefully answer questions on the form.

I too applaud the OP for the courage it took to post his message. Although I do not have an answer for the OP's question, I wish the OP the best in continuing to stay clean. Great job my friend.

Doesn't say anything about drug rehab. And here is the definition of "habitual user". Seems to me anything "habitual" needed to have some sort of criminal offense attached to it. So unless you were arrested with some sort of drug offense, me personally I wouldn't even bring it up and answer no. Question 15.

Yup I also downloaded the w@c app example . Based on the plain language of the application I'm not a prohibited person only same thing I was curious about was my stent in a rehab

I can't read the OP's mind , but my first thought was concern about Rehab being considered inpatient mental health care , rather than the previous drug use per se

Indeed. However, the mental health question being posed certainly differentiates the 2.

Great advice thanks

Sounds like you are good to go. I have friends of very good friends that were not so fortunate to kick the habit and had very short lives.

I too am proud of your accomplishment.

Overdosing as in intentionally using it, or being poisoned by it being mixed in with some other drug?

[2Amontgomerycounty]

All the above ! Majority of overdoses prior to 2014 / 15 came from people mixing opioids with a benzo ( Xanax Valium ect .. ) but with the fentanyl now you're seeing people overdose on fent alone

Congrats on concurring your demons, OP. Wish more were as successful.
