Having read the read the letter the OP posted, I would definitely recommend getting a lawyer's help with any appeal. This definitely sounds a bit more complicated than taking some anti-depressants.
It does appear to be the case.

So my permit was rejected. Reason: I take a depression medication and have to see my shrink every 3 months to get my refill. My depression has been under control for over 10 years, zero issues because I religiously take my med.
I understand thier reasoning with all the crazies out there trying to get guns but I'm not one of them.
I bought a 380 off Armslist from an individual BEFORE I knew I'd be denied. Guess I'm wondering now if I should sell my gun? They are very unclear as to whether or not I can legally own a firearm if I keep it at home. Obviously I can't legally carry it, but does this mean I can't even possess a gun for home protection?
If anyone has experience with this please do chime in.
Thank you.
The bolded sentence and the reasons given in the letter are at odds with each other. My take is the OP did not want to say he had been found not guilty of a crime due to "mental issues", and may not have disclosed that in his application. As others have noted, check with Guy or other competent legal counsel.
From your tone, I am guessing that isn't screwed in a good way.Brad’s rules for dealing with government entities part 79
Any time a government agency sends a letter with bold typing your screwed!

This is key. Don't go to your neighborhood attorney because he/she may not know some of the nuances in gun law. Find someone who specializes. They are worth the extra $$. Our own Kirk Freeman is another good choice and a little closer to you. There is a third that I think is in your neck of the woods. The name Mark (Marc?) comes to mind. (I suddenly feel like I am channeling the Amazing Kreskin. )
There may be a lingering legal issue in your past, but those can sometimes be expunged and allow someone to return to their full rights as a citizen thanks to decades of demonstrating that they are an upstanding, law abiding citizen.
And once again, good luck, my friend. Seriously. I hope you can get this sorted out and can exercise your constitutional rights.
I don't know if I'll fight it or not. If they think I shouldn't be carrying then I respect that. But can I still in my pistol for home protection at least?

I've tried 7 times to call isp firearm licensing branch and can't get through to anyone. If I'm not supposed to be in possession of this 380 then I need to sell it asap.
You can request a background check from the state police. It should give you a list of your infractions. This might be a place to start.

Take it easy my friend. One step at a time.
1st.....Covid. No one is manning their posts right now.
2nd....Christmas and again. No one is manning their post right now.

This is very strange. I have called the licensing division twice in the last few months and got through both times.
Not really. Its the week of Christmas, plus pandemic conditions. Both conditions in and of themselves are something that causes places to be short staffed. Combine the two...
