If a person has been ADJUDGED to be MENTALLY INCOMPETENT, then by Federal law, they may not possess a firearm anywhere in the US. This means that a court has found that the person is not capable of caring for themselves, is an imminent danger to themselves or others, or is not capable of acting in a rational manner.
