No expert testimony needed just a "preponderance of evidence"
That is not an acceptable standard
ARe you saying that a licensed Shrinks testimony isn't an expert in the requirement?
Does the 'licensed shrink' own firearms, or does he have a bias against them?
Considering the person in question has the legal right to an attorney I guess that would be a good question that would be brought up, don't you think? He's still afforded due process regardless.
Does he?
Maybe not where you live. But around here, we all have the right to an attorney no matter what. Even if it's a public defender. And even I know that the first step to block something like this is to go for a mental health exam. It's either going to block it or cement it. Either way, justice will be served. If it blocks it, there are some pretty good grounds for a nice civil suit. If the Shrink of the persons or their Lawyers choice does find that he is, in fact, a danger to himself or others in the community, then he really shouldn't have those guns for the next 6 months when it will be revisited. You gunnerts seem to want the crazies off the streets. Well, here is your chance. Don't screw it up.
I'm petty sure you can only get a public defender for criminal cases.
