Can someone with a mental illness own a pistol?
Generally no. Each state has its own laws regarding gun ownership, and mental illness is usually a disqualifier in all of them. The term "mental illness" can refer to many different problems, some serious, others not. If ever there is a borderline case, I think the authority would err on the side of caution and not allow such ownership.
Can someone with a diagnosis of a mental illness get a concealed weapon license for a handgun in Kansas?
I hope not. It depends. One of the things that will keep a person from legally buying a gun is being ajudicated mentally defective, which means, essentially, it is on record that the person is mentally defective. In that case, the person cannot get a gun permit because they cannot legally own a gun.
Is it a mental illness to feel like you deserve to be alone?
No it is not a mental illness if a person feels they deserve by peace and quiet alone every so often, but it is a problem if the person does nothing but want to be alone and becomes a hermit or ceases to see family and friends. A person who enjoys their own company and can entertain themselves is a person that is mature and has a good balance with their own psyche.

Can someone with no felonies or misdemeanors be denied the right to own a handgun or shotgun if they have a mental illness diagnosis and are no ones threat?
no they can be denied to that right. Actually, they can, at least in the U.S. One of the sections on the 4473 form (the form used to purchase a gun in a gun store) asks if the person has been adjudicated mentally defective. If the person answers yes to the question, it is illegal to sell them a gun, or if they answer no and the background check reveals they have been, the application will come back as denied.

What do you do if a schizophrenic person admitted a crime that they did not do?
A competent defense lawyer will argue in court that the person was temporarily insane and that the admission was not valid because the person's mental illness was preventing a lucid conversation. Any decent prosecuting attorney should carefully consider the person's mental illness and recognize that their own words may not be accurate, and therefore should be relying more on phyiscal evidence rather than a potentially false admission of guilt.

If a person has a mental illness or is possessed by demons but believes in God will they still go to heaven when they die?
Belief in God alone does not determine one's salvation. Salvation is believed to be based on one's relationship with God, repentance, and acceptance of Jesus Christ as savior in many Christian beliefs. Mental illness and possession are believed to be separate spiritual matters that do not directly affect salvation. Ultimately, the final judgment is believed to be up to God.

What does a peer advocate do in the mental health field?
A Peer Advocate works with mental health professionals to help a person suffering a mental illness, and their families, benefit from the services and programs available to them. The Peer Advocate is always a person who has been through their own mental illness and therefore is a more subjective contact for the person in need of services. Also, the Peer Advocate helps the mental health professionals streamline their approach to therapies by offering suggestions based on personal experience rather than clinical education. A career in Peer Advocacy is an entry-level career position, but one must complete a training course, and be certified, through their local MHD.
