Gun Permits


This story was just too close to home, literally.

Okay so here we have a Marine, who fired .50-caliber machine guns, qualified as a marksman, and fought in the battle for Fallujah and received a combat medal with a "V" for valor.

Back from Iraq he was undergoing Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) counseling. As some police officers do and firefighters. Well, when this Marine got home he went to apply for a gun purchase permit and got refuse. All because of a block that he checked that asked "whether he was being treated for a mental disorder." (pretty vague if you ask me) So long story short he fought this decision and was awarded his license to buy guns. I guess they saw this guy defending all of our freedoms and thought, "why not let him enjoy one of them."
