Hey, what are alternatives to firearms if you fail a background check? I voluntarily admitted myself to inpatient psych treatment last february, in NY state. Now I'm in NC, trying to get a firearm or a pistol permit and I fail because for some reason it was recorded as involuntary. Since I don't have the money or the time to drive all the way up to NYS and appeal the damn thing, what's a good alternative to a traditional firearm that doesn't need a check?
I have a shit tier .177 air rifle, but that's pretty much inadequate for anything outside of target practice. Not useful for hunting anything other than small game, too heavy to take camping/hiking, and is crap for defense.
What am I supposed to do if I want to hunt while camping or hiking, and defend myself when I'm not? I have bear spray, but that doesn't work when it's windy nor does it takedown small game. A bow and arrow might work for slightly larger game, but it's a bit awkward to use and I'm not physically strong enough to shoot one for more than a couple shots. Crossbows seem gimmicky as fuck. Slings are crap. Am I just bang out of luck?

Armslist faggot
>>29830141
well I'm not allowed to own a firearm either, and I don't want to break the law
ooh what about antique firearms? would they be reliable enough?
>>29830114
Well for one you slipped up bigtime getting admitted. I think you should fight it. Some of that can be done at a distance. Talk to a lawyer about it.
no substitute for a firearm.
>>29830114
Blackpowder

eh I don't regret it, it was helpful in the long run. I just wish that I didn't have my right to defend myself taken away because I sought treatment for depression instead of jumping in front of a bus. Like fuck, I've fought depression hard to stop it from killing me, but now I'm denied the right to fight external things trying to kill me?
I can't really afford to talk to a lawyer either, I might give the NY county court a call tomorrow though and see what I can sort out
>>29830595
isn't that just a joke these days tho? I don't want to blow myself up

>Another mentally ill psycho that failed the very easy to pass background checks
Just fucking kill yourself already and stop making us sane people look bad.
>inb4 I just have mild autism
Fuck off.
>>29830673
No, it isn't. You want to chuck metal without it being considered a firearm? You go muzzleloading. Buy a howdah kit, a cap&ball revolver, and go to town. also, because they aren't firearms, no barrel length-stock bullshit (Take note of the "fixed cartridge" language).

>>29830747
thanks, I might give it a go if I can find it cheap enough
seems like you should have the right to copies of your paperwork. I'd imagine if it was actually voluntary then it'd be obvious on the documentation and you could use that to clear it up.
>>29830781
Thanks. I definitely had that confused with tourettes guy. Had a good laugh tho
>>29830913
that's a good idea, I lost my original copy moving from ny to nc but I'm sure I could request a copy be sent to me
This is why I don't seek help for my numerous and crippling mental illnesses.

This. It's a bigger issue than just what gun you can buy. Get that shit fixed.
>>29831112
Save up $500 and see a psych for cash. At least you can get your meds in one visit, and just use your GP to renew them so you can save $$$.
Whatever issues you have, you would probably be better off with a trustworthy doctor for counseling plus the meds, but psychs that won't fuck you over are expensive. If you have enough social support(friends and family, only the ones you can talk to) in your life, that can partially do the job of psych counseling. Especially if you are on the right meds to make it easier for your mind to drag itself out of that rut.
DO NOT USE THE VA

Taser, batons, knives, and pepper spray for self defense

Funny, cause he actually has tourettes
Psychos shouldn't have guns, period. You are lucky they let you out and walk around without a tracking tag around your neck.
>>29834298
Then why are you allowed to have them?
>>29830114
You can own a black powder weapon.
They are not considered firearms under federal law. But check your state laws
get a 80% ar15 lower and go from there. no background check needed it'll take some work though. get a P.O box for smaller parts. place a lot of time in between orders and purchases
No alternatives. However, you can still get antiques, cap and ball revolvers, 80% AR lowers and 80% 1911 frames, and if you're lucky you could buy a gun via private sale.
Or if you don't want to "illegally" own firearms then talk to a lawyer and see what you can do about that mental health thing.

Pussy
Buy a 80% lower
