i need help with my pal application

soooo... i have been in love with firearms for the past 5 years and have been an avid hunter and i am here doing my pal application and i have been struggling with the personal history question about threatening suicide. about a year ago over Facebook me and my girlfriend where having an argument and i said im going to kill myslef so she would stop bashing me but really didnt mean it. should i send in a phyc evaluation and tick yes and attach a long letter explaining the situation or should i wait 4 years and just answer no

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Was it a joke or a threat. If it was a threat, I would think that they would consider it as you meant it. Did you seek medical help, or did it not go past facebook?
 
It was more like i wanted to say something to stop her from insulting me so i was using it as a way to make her be sympathetic (i know that was wrong but i was 16...) and no i have never attemped or actually thought about hurting myself
 
Be honest, if you did have a evaluation or some one reported you as being suicidal they'll find out some how and it will further delay your application. At least you will be able to explain the situation.

Good luck
 
i never have gotten a phyc since i have never displayed any suicidal traits and never had any thoughts of anything like that. what i am asking is will i likely be denied if i apply now and send it in with a note saying i can give extra references and i will be happy to do a personal interview or should i wait 5 years???? thanks guys it means alot!
 
no i literally said it and then never thought about it till now, i love life and i totally regret what i said and since my dad has guns and i live with him if i get denied i would have to move out right?
 
so if i just said it over facebook in a moment of emotion it should be fine? and the reason this is so important is that i need this for my career aswell so what do you guys think i should do?
 
Be honest. There has been two instances that have been brought to my attension where both individuals applied for their PALs and within a few days recieved a friend request on facebook. Upon accepting the friend request, they were informed it was the RCMP and they need to call them to go over a few things. It delayed one person's application by 3 years and rejected the other. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. I think it is strange and cheesy that the police is on social media but the reality is that it is now apart of policing. Your Facebook history never gets erased and they will find out so the best thing to do is to be straight with them and let them use their discression.

Yes they can. They just can not use it in court as evidence or as a reason to charge you with a crime. Saying 'No' does not involve the law or have anything to do with court proceedings.
