Denver post July 22, 2009:
Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall are proving reliably pro-gun with their support today of a narrowly failed amendment that would have allowed holders of concealed-carry permits to transport their hidden pistols across state lines.

...

Only two months ago Bennet and Udall supported the passage of a new law that allows concealed-carry permit holders to tote their weapons in national parks.

That hardly sounds like they are trying to take your concealed carry permit away. In this state, Democrats running for statewide office are largely pro-gun. The only ones who can afford to thumb their noses at gun owners are local politicians in Denver. So now you know that you can vote Democratic without fear they will take either your concealed carry permit or your registry card.
The issue is that you are not eligible for a concealed carry permit in colorado if you are breaking or have broken federal laws. Registration/redcard in colorado is pretty strong evidence you are breaking federal law since it's still illegal, even if you are a compliant patient. (edit: find the requirements for concealed carry eligibility in colorado if you like.)

Wouldn't MMC employees now be banned from having concealed carry permits? Assuming everyone agrees that pot related stuff is legal locally but illegal according to the feds?

I think that's what kathleen at onebrownmouse was so upset about, is the fact that MMC's are basically giving the government everything they need, so that if the DEA subpoenaed the MMJ database, they'd have a goldmine of info to use to bust big grow ops with, and since MMC's waive their right to privacy etc, they're screwed. With vertical integration, every single MMC will be over 99 plants, which in my opinion, is a major issue with the DEA.

Why wouldn't the DEA be busting MMC's? It took them 24 hours to get to the guy in highlands ranch. But he wasn't paying his taxes, so the government is making money by keeping MMC's open. They lose all of those licensing fees etc if the MMC's go away.

Again, it's not like large scale home grows were paying taxes on that income.
