My wife has been struggling with a lot of clinical depression due to some major life events recently, and yesterday had something of a nervous breakdown at work and made the mistake of saying something that could be construed as suicidal at the hospital. So..she's been involuntarily committed to an institution while they adjust meds and try to figure out the root of the problem.

Beyond dealing with that,i'm trying to look at the ramifications in the future. I'm sure her ccw license can be considered history. So what happens to my guns? Can I still legally possess firearms in a home with someone barred from owning firearms due to an involuntary commitment?

You need to be talking with an attorney like RIGHT NOW. Ask NRA if they can recommend a good Firearms lawyer to you, or look for one on the web under that specialty. Sorry to hear about the wife. Tough spot on many levels. Best of luck.

Your firearms are safe. Felons can live in the same home as gun owners, and so can mentally deficient. It becomes your obligation to lock firearms up

You are fine.
Her CCW is likely toast.
She can no longer buy a gun

Let's be clear, she can no longer possess a firearm or ammunition.

If the NRA can't refer you to someone in your area, see if these folks can
