Mental Competency Database
Firearm Purchase Program
MECOM
Federal and state law prohibits the sale or transfer of
firearms to any person adjudicated as mentally
defective or committed to a mental institution.
Mental Competency Database (MECOM)
Established in February 2007, MECOM is an automated
database used to receive and store information from the Clerks of
Court pertaining to persons adjudicated mentally defective or
committed to a mental institution by a court order or a judicial
finding of incapacity.
Information is shared with the FBI NICS and other specified
agencies for the purpose of determining firearm sale or transfer
eligibility.
