Instructor Mike warns FOID and concealed carry holders in Illinois about potential pitfalls when seeking mental health services. He explains that contacting hotlines or professionals with mandatory reporting requirements can lead to firearm permit denials, as this information can be reported to the Illinois State Police. The advice emphasizes seeking alternative, non-reporting avenues for support to protect firearm rights.
This video discusses two major events impacting gun owners: a favorable Supreme Court ruling (Bruen v. New York) strengthening Second Amendment rights by striking down 'may issue' concealed carry laws, and the passage of new federal gun control legislation. The speakers express concern that the new legislation, despite its seemingly benign components like enhanced background checks and mental health funding, represents incrementalism that erodes gun rights and could be used for harassment, particularly through red flag laws and expanded background checks targeting younger adults. They emphasize the importance of political action and voting to protect Second Amendment freedoms.
