I would like to get my concealed carry permit in MI, but one of the requirements is: The applicant does not have a diagnosed mental illness at the time the application is made regardless of whether he or she is receiving treatment for that illness.
On the application you have to answer yes or no. I am under the impression that if you check yes you are automatically denied.
I have been treated for minor anxiety, (nothing that affects my daily life or my ability to function in society) but do take a very small dose of medication. My question is should I check no on the application due to the fact that in my opinion I don't have a mental illness? I don't want to have that come back and bite me in the butt, possibly being charged with perjury.
MI law defines mental illness as: "Mental Illness" means a substantial disorder of thought or mood that significantly impairs judgment, behavior, capacity to recognize reality, or ability to cope with the ordinary demands of life, and includes, but is not limited to, clinical depression. The minor anxiety that I have certainly does not affect me in any of these areas. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
