I cannot remember when; maybe 5 - 6 years ago some conversation was around creating a law that if someone was thought to be mentally ill in any fashion, that they would have to be seen by a mental health professional before being allowed to buy a firearm. All of us in the mental health profession made it clear we had no desire to work under such a law. First, a person, even the most mentally ill may have clarity for a short time during an interview. Second, a true mental evaluation would be expensive and time consuming. Third, my liability insurance is high enough; if we had agreed to provide such services I'm certain companies would have stopped providing coverage. As for me, I would never agree to serve a client; liability is way too high.
