HONOLULU — A U.S. Navy officer stationed in Hawaii cannot be denied a firearms permit solely because he sought counseling for feeling depressed and homesick, a federal judge ruled.
Michael Santucci, a cryptologic warfare officer from Fort Myers, Florida, saw a medical provider at a military hospital for feelings of depression and homesickness a few months after arriving in Hawaii last year, according to his lawsuit, filed in April.

Excellent article. If He is mentally stable to perform His duties as a Naval officer, then being denied to own a hand gun shouldn't be an issue.

Seems to be a good ruling from the Judge, to decide otherwise would discourage people from seeking the help they may need.
