Which this law is about, when they are a threat to themselves or others. Usually that determination is reached because they tell the cops "I'm going to blow my brains out" or "I'm going to shoot you." Here's how it works: 1) Person says something threatening violence, 2) somebody calls the cops who investigate, 3) cops ask judge to have person checked out.

Unless your moody friend threatens to kill himself or others, he'd be fine under this law.
