Let's say someone has a gun, (theoretically of course ;) ) which they own, use, and carry legally. Now that person gets caught for having a small amount of weed. Is the posession of a gun (remember, LEGAL gun) going to make the charges worse than they would be otherwise?

Dont carry a gun... dont have to worry. Ive heard bad things about having any deadly weapon with even small amounts of weed. dont give away any extra leaverage to the police.
No. If the gun is legal what does it have to do with weed

If you have the gun on you when you are caught, and your charged with simple possession, you should be ok unless there are other aggravating factors....If your caught with weed and charged with Intent to distribute, your looking at Possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and a felony.

if the amount of drugs is small and they view it as "personal stash" then you should be clear.

I definately won't be doing anything worse than a misdemeanor here.
Dont carry a gun... dont have to worry.
And when someone tries to rob me how am I supposed to put a hole in their chest?

You might want to check your state and local laws. Just because the gun is legal and you have a permit to carry it, If found with narcotics the permits might then become voided. Local counties have there own rules. The area of MA I'm in I can not even fire my paintball gun in my yard. Yet if I where to goto western MA I can go out hunting.

in most cases I've seen they slap on possesion of a fire arm in whatever circumstance your in, and you dont get your gun back :(

you should be fine if not get a lawyer but if you are registerd to carry it, it should not be a factor just dont make the cops think you will use it cuz where i used to live in dallas they are trigger happy

BASICLY,, IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
GUNS AND DRUGS DON'T MIX
IF YOU HAVE A GROW, DON'T HAVE A FIREARM ANYWHERE CLOSE TO IT.
IF YOU HAVE A STASH,, DON'T HAVE A FIREARM NEAR IT.
DON'T GIVE THE LAW ENFORCMENT ANY REASON TO DOUBT YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS.
I LIVE IN A COUNTY THAT STILL ALLOWS US TO HAVE EM IN OUR VEHICLES AND CARRY THEM IN TOWN IN HOLTSERS.
BUT I STILL DON'T KEEP ONE CLOSE TO MY ROOMS OR MY STASH AREA.
AS MY MOM USED TO SAY,,, IF IN DOUBT,,, DON'T DO IT.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.

you are right it can increase your charges against you and it doesnt even have to be an illegal drug in alot of states being intoxicated and in the possesion of a hand gun can increase the charges also, that doesnt stop alot of people from doing it anyway, so its probably not a good idea to carry a gun on you anytime you may have drugs in your possesion.
as per owning guns at your house dont really see that its that big of a deal have known atleast a couple of people who have got charged with cultivation and possesion and did not get into any more trouble for having guns in their house but im sure it can vary from one location to the next.

YES!
If they want to be total dicks they can charge you with other crimes.
carrying gun while in possesion of a controlled substance. Carrying a firearm while commiting a crime(and since MJ is illeagle in most states) that might stick.
Dont carru a gun while you have MJ on you, it plays into the MJ sterotype of guns and drugs.
