For general questions about your states gun laws or your VA condition, I'd address that with your local VA clinic or VAMC service rep. They are formally trained to deal with veterans problems or legal issues.
If you are on medication or any treatments that can affect your well being or reactions then I would not carry any firearms or ammunition.

As posted in the past on TFL, I'm against military veterans claiming benefits or PTSD/psych issues then wanting to carry concealed weapons or to hunt.
The murder of US Navy SEAL & author Chris Kyle by a disabled US marine with mental health issues is a sad example of why I feel this way.

Don't get me wrong, some veterans may feel they can be safe or prudent with guns even if they are on a treatment plan or formal disability but that's my personal view.
