Question by Jessica MMM: my son VOLUNTARILY admitted himself into rehab 3 years ago, does this exclude him from posessing a foid card?
he was 16 at the time, it was not court ordered and the firearms owner act is poorly worded they do not define “mental health facility” as a rehabilitation center and on the application says it’s a felony to falsely admit info. so what im wondering is since he was self mandated, received no physiciatric care while staying, and also was never banned by a professional that he is not able to obtain a FOID card. so does this mean he’s still eligible because he loves hunting and is looking toward getting a rifle.

i don’t think it makes any difference whether it was voluntary or not. he still went to rehab
if i were you, i would check with someone. there should be a contact number or something like that on the foid application form, or online if you google it. ring them and ask if that counts as a mental health facility

I’m pretty sure it’s okay. They intentionally make exception for the word voluntary so you don’t have to choose between necessary help and constitutional rights…
Sad really, that you need to worry about this.
But neither my answer nor the guy above me is qualified to answer. I think you need to ask someone more locally, and officially like the police, that way if the police it’s okay, get that in writing… If stuff goes south, you’ll have covered your bases.
Good luck.

Question by karen star: How would “reconciliation” work in the current health care debate?
I have read about filibuster, and recall some filibusters from days past, the gang of 14, and so on, but can someone explain this in simple terms for me? (Wiki articles were not particularly helpful, so just a clear explanation will be good.) I’m not looking for partisan bickering, but for simple direct explanation of the process. Thanks, in advance, for civility.

How about “rehabilitation”? After all, the requisite for any recovery is first admitting that there is a real problem. To hear the politicians and insurance companies, as well as some health-care professionals who know which side their bread is buttered on — you’d think that what is called for in the catastrophic US health-care industry (sic) is just some fine tuning. As someone experienced with the phenomenon, I can tell you it rings like an alcoholic explaining and adjusting his drinking habit. I’ve even heard the claim that “We have the best health care in the world.”!
Right. And my drinking is OK because it’s top shelf.
ENOUGH verbiage and self-promotion in the guise of negotiation. This sophomoric nonsense has led too often to the logical conclusion: “The operation was a success, but the patient died.” No exaggeration: that is exactly what happened to my own mother. Diagnosed with Stage 3 metastatic breast cancer, such was the juggernaut of bureaucratic red-tape and protocol (not to mention physicians and hospitals lining their pockets and covering their own asses) that by the time anyone got around to actually helping her, she was dead.

Answer by shrty0525
Since he doesn’t probably report his drug earnings to the IRS, there isn’t much they can do.
They set the amount based on a 40 hour minimum wage job.
Answer by Stacy H
Normally both parents are required to fill out a sheet that shows there income and a judge basis the support amount on the percentage of income received by both parents…unfortunately if the father who deals drugs does not show a whole lot of legitimate earnings the judge has to base it on what he reports…it is not fair but that is how it happens.
