Has anybody in the military seeked mental health and not had there weapon ownership "privilege" taken away? There are some things I need to get out but I am afraid that will keep me from future gun ownership. I love to hunt and shoot for recreation.

Hey brother, shoot me an IM.

The only thing that will put your gun ownership at risk is any implication that you can't/don't pay your bills on time, that you want to hurt yourself, or you want to hurt someone else.  Other then that, you'll be fine as far as gun ownership goes.

I've got a close friend who went to seek help following his return from Iraq, we shoot often and he has never had a problem retaining or obtaining firearms. He's great now and I am thankful he got help with some of the demons he was fighting. Go get help buddy, we owe it to you, and you owe it to yourself

Go get the help you need man, I know a ton of guys who have, and none of them had their guns taken or were prevented from buying new ones

There is a "treatment process" (I made that term up) mental health care providers are supposed to use that is supposed to guide their decisions on what course to take, but its just that- a guide. All factors play into this, but generally speaking, a decision to take away firearms rights SHOULDN'T be made unless its a risk mitigation factor. Risk factors such as extreme depression, suicide, violence, spousal abuse will likely get someone flagged, for example. Also, a gun-hating provider may do the same out of "an abundance of caution". And, a unit commander may decide to collect a service member's firearms and place them in the unit arms room based on "an abundance of caution"- I've seen this happen (which I think is strange, since infantry officers generally aren't qualified mental health providers. But then again, the army has a ton of unlicensed practicing lawyers too- these people are called officers). You may want to seek help outside of the military establishment. Good luck.
