Today, one of our regular customers came in and was telling me he bought an assault rifle. I told him not to go off his meds and shoot up the store, as a joke. Later, my manager told me that the guy is on antidepressants and was discharged from the military for being "mentally unfit." FML

I'm on antidepressants and was discharged from the military for the same reason. That doesn't mean I plan to shoot up a store. Not sure what the point of this FML was...no harm no foul?

No, being depressed doesn't mean you will shoot everyone up, but the stakes of owning a gun are so incredibly high that we just can't take the risk.

Unfortunately, the military is completely unsensitive to mental illness. Since we've been able to record history of wars, soldiers come home with what we now know as Post traumatic stress disorder, and thousands more get discharged for it. PTSD is characterized by intensely deep depression and caused by the trauma they see in war. It is no fault of their own and just because the military labels someone as "mentally unfit" it really doesn't mean much. Afterall, they name homosexuals "sexually unfit." LOL **** your life for being so stupid.

I'm going to be honest here, but you deserved that one. You don't talk about killing people as a joke, and not checking what type of meds that person was on was a pretty stupid move, too. (No offense, by the way.)
