In general, no. A person that has been adjudged to be metally incompetent may not possess a firearm anywhere in the US. This is governed under Federal law. If a court has determined that the person is no longer mentally incompetent, you may petition for restoration of firearm rights. You need to consult a NH attorney on this.

How soon after discharge from mental institution can you own a firearm?
If you were ever adjucated as being mentally defective, you can't own one, period. If the court required you to be committed, you can typically count yourself out. If you entered into it voluntarily, it may be a different case. You would need a lawyer, privy to the details of your specific case, for a more detailed and accurate answer to this.

That will depend on the weapon, and the law of the place where you are.

In MOST states there is no permit to own a firearm. In other countries, other laws.

This ALL depends on what state you live in, and what crime you committed.

If it is a felony, you can NEVER own a gun legally.

Can you own a gun if you go to rehab for alcohol?
If you entered rehab voluntarily, yes. If committed to rehab, probably not. You may want to check 18 U.S.C. 922(g) for a list of prohibited categories. The language of the law refers to "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" and "been adjudicated a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution" as being prohibited from acquiring or possessing firearms. Going to "rehab" could mean many things. The law doesn't mention anything about "rehab". You should try and clarify your question. Is your rehab considered a "mental institution"? Who sent you there? There are a number of questions that should be answered. This question is very difficult to answer without getting many more details from you.
