Can you buy a handgun if have epilepsy?

In the United States, the answer to this question depends on the state in which you live. Some states have laws that prohibit people with epilepsy from purchasing or possessing firearms, while other states have no such laws. In addition, the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits people with certain mental illnesses from purchasing firearms, but it is not clear whether epilepsy is considered a mental illness under the law.

You should check with the laws in your state to determine if you are prohibited from purchasing a handgun due to your epilepsy. If you are unsure about the law, you should consult with an attorney.

Here is a list of resources that may be helpful:

- The National Rifle Association (NRA) has a website that provides information on gun laws in each state.

- The National Epilepsy Foundation (NEF) has a website that provides information on epilepsy and gun ownership.

- The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (LCGV) has a website that provides information on gun laws and their impact on public health.
