Very good point! And, to a lesser degree of trouble, it would surely expose those who came in contact with him to enormous stress, as they wouldn't be able to easily tell that the weapon was disabled.

If there is a concern that the person is mentally unfit, those with knowledge, or suspicion, should report that to law enforcement who would best know how to start the process of evaluating his mental fitness for gun ownership.
