Washington County's Board of Commissioners Tuesday approved filing an appeal of a circuit court judge's ruling that federal firearms laws do not supersede Oregon's medical marijuana law when it comes to obtaining a state Concealed Handgun License.

Sheriff Rob Gordon revoked or denied CHL's to Steven Schwerdt, Paul Sansone and Lee Wallick on the basis they disclosed they have used a controlled substance, medical marijuana, regularly and for prolonged period of time. Gordon believes these people are barred by federal law from possessing firearms.

Judge Steven L. Price said as a matter of law, Oregon's CHL requirements do not include abstaining from medical marijuana nor qualifying to possess firearms under federal standards.

The commissioners agreed with Gordon's opinion that it is necessary to obtain a binding legal opinion on the issue from the Oregon Court of Appeals.

County counsel also wants answers to questions about whether issuing permits could subject the sheriff and the county to federal prosecution or civil liability.
