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.

I hope not. It depends.

In that case, the person cannot get a gun permit because they cannot legally own a gun.

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.

no they can be denied to that right.

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.

Can you own a gun if mentally ill in Alabama?
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. There is a difference between that, and simple "mental illness", just as there is a difference between having a cold, and having cancer.
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.
