Gun rights

[mstr.litamacwolf]

So I’m at the lunch table and I was talking with a coworker on gun laws. He made mention that anyone settings to a 72 hour hold is forever banned from owning guns.
but I know my uncle that got fall over drunk was taken in cuffs to a hospital for saying things.
they took his guns but later return them to him.
Can anyone help me to understand this law?
If he was taken to the hospital but he got his guns back.

Need more info on this one. There are the prohibited possessor situations (felon, adjudicated mentally deficient, fugitive from justice, etc.) There are temporary times you'd be prohibited (condition of bail, probation). Involuntarily admitted to a mental institution would be the closest to what you posted.

See all I know is he was drunk & taken to the hospital. He got let go & got his guns back. He never went to court.

What you are describing sounds like he was the subject of an Immediate Detention ( IC 12-26-4 ) which is different than being "adjudicated as mentally defective" by a court.

He was drunk and threatening people most likely.

Pretty stupid.
