His lawsuit focuses on a state law that allows access to an applicant\u2019s medical records in determining whether someone should be allowed to own a gun, which his lawyers say is unique to Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2021\/07\/30\/dod-needs-to-get-a-handle-on-quality-of-life-at-remote-isolated-us-bases-report-finds\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635732721906861444-gettyimages-474984728jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">DoD needs to get a handle on quality of life at remote, isolated U.S. bases, report finds<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Driving three hours to get maternity care&#8230;. commuting 53 miles to work.

Prior to acquiring a gun, an applicant must apply for a permit. When applying, the applicant signs a waiver allowing the chief of police of the county issuing the permit access to any records that have a bearing on the mental health of an applicant, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Santucci received a letter from the police department saying that in order to process his application, he needs written certification from a psychologist or doctor documenting he\u2019s no longer affected by any mental disorder, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governmental physicians, such as Department of Defense personnel, are forbidden from writing such statements, Santucci\u2019s lawyers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawsuit noted that the Navy approves of Santucci possessing firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alan Beck, one of Santucci\u2019s attorneys, said it\u2019s unconstitutional to require a medical evaluation to exercise a fundamental right when there\u2019s no evidence of mental illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re challenging the process,\u201d Beck said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson for the state attorney general\u2019s office declined to comment Wednesday because they had not yet been formally served with the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives for the city and county of Honolulu, also named as a defendant, didn\u2019t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a practical matter, the City makes the applicant disprove a negative \u2014 I am not incompetent \u2014 which is expensive and burdensome especially considering that virtually all Hawaii doctors refuse to write the waivers the City requires as proof of mental competency,\u201d Santucci\u2019s lawyers said in a motion for a preliminary injunction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lawsuit focuses on a state law that allows access to an applicant\u2019s medical records in determining whether someone should be
