Title: Concealed handgun permit; disqualifications, residential mental health or substance abuse treatment.
Description: Concealed handgun permits; disqualifications; residential mental health or substance abuse treatment. Provides that a person is disqualified from obtaining a concealed handgun permit if he has received mental health or substance abuse treatment in a residential setting within five years before or after the date of his application for the permit.
