PTSD military veterans "can" face difficulties getting gun permits. BUT, I am an OIF war vet from 2003/2004, and I have been diagnosed wit PTSD, and own firearms. The certain question on the form when purchasing a firearm is meant mainly towards mentally disturbed individuals that are or have been hospitalized against their will to a mental hospital, or on depression medication for depression, and so on and so forth. You can ask any veteran (most likely working at a gun shop or VFW and American Legion) about this also.
Another thing you need to pay attention to, is that a lot of Law Enforcement Officers are also diagnosed with PTSD whenever they have to use their firearm or other forms of protection in the line of duty, and yet, they are still allowed to carry and use a firearm. Why not a veteran soldier who has put his or her life on the line and probably fired his or her weapon more times than an entire police station worth of officers to end/protect lives? Ask yourself and others this.

Should christians own a gun for protection?
There is some risk is involved in owning a gun. There are a lot of accidents involving guns, and people who own guns for their own protection are sometimes shot by their own guns, which may be stolen from them. There are certainly cases of children getting hold of their parents' guns and playing with them and accidentally shooting people (or in some cases, deliberately shooting people). If you do own a gun you have to store it securely and you have to know how to use it. Still, if you are a Christian who lives in Egypt, India, or some other country in which Christians are being actively persecuted, then it probably would be helpful to own a gun for your protection.

What are the odds of being shot by a gun in your own home?
None. A gun in the home, or anywhere else for that matter, will not shoot you. If you are asking what are the odds of being shot by someone with a gun in your home, that's another question. You will have to be specific in what you are looking for. Is there a gun in the home already? Is it loaded or empty? Is it secured or not secured? Are you asking about being shot accidentally or during a crime in the home?
