Hey Killer,
"One of my concerns on this issue is about federal laws with gun ownership and MJ. For the feds its an immediate felony. Which is exactly why we have the 10th Amendment. The feds have no jusrisdiction in these cases and every federal charge that was used that didn't involve crossing state lines is unconstitutional and all prisoners should be released. "

So federally, it's completely illegal for a mmj patient to possess a gun/weapon, but does our state laws protect us? Anyone who isn't a felon may obtain a Concealed weapons permit, so does that become invalid if you obtain a mmj card?

Graywolf says: "Taking life in defense of property is illegal, but if you are legitimately and serously concerned about the welfare of you and your family and the person invades your home, make that clear to the reporting officer and hire a good attorney to make your case."

It's just sad you have to fight for your life (at the residence during a break in, AND in court). If you kill an intruder, I guess you better not score a headshot. If you empty the clip, you'd have to be convincing that you where scared out of your mind. But I completely agree, you can't leave any survivors to sue your ass. ..... Where I live, I've heard 1-2 gunshots and police don't show up promptly, but if you empty a clip.... you may have 2-3 minutes at the most.
Yes federally if you're busted for growing, consumming or selling you will get a firearm charge on top of the MJ charge. But under normal conditions the feds don't become involved below 100 plants. So generally you're safe in the state, just don't cross state lines with both a firearm and MJ. Have had CWP for about 30 years and as long as you use commonsense the cops don't bother you.
In Washington state you can only use a firearm to protect yourself or someone else. Its important to remember if you ever get in a circumstance where you have to use a firearm in self defense to always say you were in fear of your life, that either the person threatened you or took threatening actions.
Cops show up pretty quickly if you say there's a firearm being used. If you do end up having to use it be sure to unload and lay somewhere in plain site for the cops to see and make no furtive movements when they show up. Hands clear of body, no cellphones or anything else in your hands.
The general rule is a triple tap. 2 to the chest, 1 to the head.
