Medical Letter???

Bob A said:

I was addressing the question of excessive regulatory involvement in presumably private medical information, and thought this was a decent example.

How do you feel about people with carry permits being treated for psychological issues? How about examining their posts and media to ascertain mental stability? That's the issue in question, not flying for compensation. How much regulation do you believe ought to be imposed in the name of "public safety"?

I just feel like it's apples and oranges. Driving a car and flying a plane are privileges,...not rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

If I had to be pinned down and make an affirmative statement on it....

I don't want people under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs doing anything that can affect my well-being or my family's safety or well-being or means of earning a living.

The sticking point comes in when you're dealing with a state like Maryland where they could just arbitrarily decide that caffeine and ginseng are now listed as a good enough reason to deny you.

Sorry for the hijack. We can resume medical discussion.

Hogan is going to direct the Licensing Division to accept personal protection as G&S on day 30 of term two, second quarter of the second year, on a partial lunar eclipse with a small hummingbird hovering outside of his office window.

Guys, you do all know that most people on psych drugs actually benefit from them? And what about all the cops on them, as well as the huge # of combat vets with PTSD? I know that there are a lot of vets on here on MDS, surely some of them are on meds. It seems that every vet I meet ( other than one Vietnam one) is very pro gun and own guns, including all the naughty stuff ( AR's and whatnot). It's plain infringement going on in MD, any way you slice it.

Pretty well sums up about 50% of the threads on this forum one way or another.
