Judge rules Navy officer can't be denied gun permit

The state of Hawaii is considered paradise by many, but not if you want a firearm. Among the requirements is a gun permit.

For one Navy officer, though, he was denied one because he’d sought treatment for depression due, at least in part, to homesickness. Now, a federal judge says that can’t happen. 

A U.S. Navy officer stationed in Hawaii cannot be denied a firearms permit solely because he sought counseling for feeling depressed and homesick, a federal judge ruled.
