?? What are you talking about? There are two entirely different sets of criteria. "Can someone safely drive a car" in no way equals "is someone likely to try to harm themselves or others."
And yet your the one who keeps using the idea that "We take away people's drivers licenses when doctors tell us to."
Agreed. A doctor should evaluate the person and decide whether or not they represent a threat to themselves or others.
Not "a" doctor a team of Doctors who are all certified CCW holders themselves and it should operate like a jury they all have to agree to pull the license or it's not pulled. But even then it should only be brought up when there is hard evidence.
If his fear makes him not want to go out after dark? No. If he wants to "shoot the darkness" to keep it from getting him? Then yes, absolutely.
But you just said insane people can't handle weapons. Are you now recognizing that there is several levels of insanity?
You've never seen an elderly driver lose his license because he was no longer able to safely drive a car? From the website Elder Law Answers:
=========
All state Departments of Motor Vehicles, Highway Safety, or Transportation have an office where a family member or doctor can make a referral about an unsafe driver. The state office will investigate the claim, and the driver may have to take a road test. Doctors are generally not required to report patients they feel are unsafe. In California, however, doctors must report demented patients and in California and a few other states doctors must report patients with epilepsy.

I never said they didn't take the license I said they don't take the car. BIG difference.
