Ten years ago, I had to go to the hospital and because of that, I didn't apply for a PAL because I wasn't in the "right state of mind".
When I submitted my RPAL application last week, I answered "No" to the question "Have you ever threatened or attempted suicide..." (in my defense, it used to only ask within 5 years), because the police wasn't involved, medical records must remain confidential by law, answering "Yes" would delay your application just like the guy above and as a consequence, that would make you liable to the new red flag laws since doctor-patient confidentiality law was changed in 2016. The CFO would maybe call my doctor during my RPAL application screening to let them know if there are any slight change in my mental state and because of that, I don't want my rare and collectible firearms to get impounded by the police.
I'll let everyone know how my application turns out.
@Malishman any update on your application?
Calling the reference number as PAL verification is a logical fallacy that destroys the gun community. It's sole purpose is to rebuild the government's backdoor NR registry. Otherwise, it would've also been required for ammo purchase.
