Aaron Carter Guns Could Be Seized ... Begs Family To Leave Him Alone!!!
UPDATE
12:26 PM PT -- Aaron came on “TMZ Live” Tuesday and addressed the potential Gun Violence Restraining Order, telling us he doesn’t feel like he struggles with mental health in the slightest bit.
UPDATE
Aaron says he just wants to take care of his mother, and gives an impassioned plea to his loved ones … telling them to butt out of his life.
UPDATE
11:10 AM PT -- A rep for Aaron Cater tells TMZ ... "Aaron is following the law and continued to be fully cooperative with any and all inquiries made by law enforcement. There have been multiple wellness checks made and none have ever resulted in any action."
UPDATE
Sources close to Aaron also tell us he believes Backstreet Boys fans are the ones trolling him and causing the welfare checks due to his estranged relationship with his brother.
Aaron Carter's family is worried about his mental health, and so are cops. We've learned they're looking at an obscure law that could be used to take his guns away.
Aaron himself has raised concerns over his mental stability. He appeared on "The Doctors" and it seemed from the show Aaron was suffering from a multiple personality disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia and manic depression -- another term for bipolar. Aaron walked it back on "TMZ Live" Monday, saying "The Doctors" was edited to make it look like he had these conditions.
Fact is ... family members have been concerned enough that L.A. County Sheriff's deputies have gone to Aaron's home for a welfare check ... especially because he flaunts his gun collection.
Aaron says he owns a 9mm handgun, 2 assault rifles and other firearms as well.
As for the little-used California law ... it's called a Gun Violence Restraining Order. If someone owns guns and a family member or law enforcement believes the person could use a weapon to hurt themselves or another person, the family member or cop can go to court and ask for the restraining order.
A judge can take the person's guns away, and order them not to possess other guns or ammo.
Our law enforcement sources tell us ... cops are looking at the law right now and deciding whether they'll go to court. And, as for the order, a lot depends on nailing down Aaron's true mental state, which is a difficult proposition because Aaron shares only what he wants to publicly share so it's hard to paint a complete picture.
