Mental Hospital stay, and gun ownership?

Hi, I am 25 years old now, but when I was 21, roughly 4 years ago, I voluntarily committed myself to a mental home for about a week. Some of the mental health hospital staff couldn't see why I was even there, and looking back, I realize that it was more of a cry for attention if anything. Yeah, I was going through a hard time in my life, but looking back on it now, there was so many different ways I could've gotten through that hard time in my life, besides committing myself to a mental home for a week. Here's where it pisses me off. About a year after my week stay at the mental home, I tried to become a cop, and would've been the perfect candidate. I'm in perfect shape physically, No criminal record, never been in trouble at all, perfect driving record, non smoker, non druggie, non drinker, damn near straight A student in high school, graduated with honors, I know, I was a goodie goodie, but despite all of this, the ONE thing stopping me was the fact that I stayed for one week at a mental hospital. Im not crazy, Im def not insane, and its been over 4 years since I committed myself. All my life, Ive kept my nose clean, and have nothing to show for it because I went in to a mental home for a week. There has got to be some kind of waiver or something that I can do to be able to own a gun and/or be a cop. I wish to own a gun for protection because I have a family now, and I deliver pizza in a not so great area of Ohio where armed robberies are an everyday thing. Any suggestions on what I can do legally. Even prisoners who rape children and commit murder get a second chance. Why not a good, no record law abiding citizen such as me??
