Thanks for the welcome, wfgodot, C-Bar and Oriah! And thanks, Oriah, for the very useful website. Note the following provisions from obtaining a concealed weapon's permit:
An attempted suicide or other condition relating to or indicating mental instability or an unsound mind which occurred within the preceding ten-year period from the date of the application for a license to carry a concealed firearm or that occurs during the period of licensure;
7. Currently undergoing treatment for a mental illness, condition, or disorder. For purposes of this paragraph, "currently undergoing treatment for a mental illness, condition, or disorder" means the person has been diagnosed by a licensed physician as being afflicted with a substantial disorder of thought, mood, perception, psychological orientation, or memory that significantly impairs judgment, behavior, capacity to recognize reality, or ability to meet the ordinary demands of life;
From what I remember reading, S attempted suicide around a month before they disappeared and spent some time in a hospital. She obviously had the gun prior to this but I thought she may have attempted suicide before as well? Not, as Oriah pointed out, that people actually respect this law and I guess I'm just going with the theory that S had the gun "concealed" in the glove box or the briefcase. And maybe did so for the protection of Madyson. I just wonder if there has been any info as to how she normally carried the gun and if the info she had it with her always is correct.
