A MMJ card and a gun do not go hand in hand

[cologrower420]

I personally know a registry card holder who was denied a gun purchase. He was told "guns and marijuana don't mix". I think that the idea of privacy is nice but naive.

Privacy went away with the take over of america by the multinational corporate powers that be. Get used to it.

Anecdotal evidence that can't be verified aside.

When someone applies for a concealed carry permit, are they subjected to a federal background check or a state one? Does the federal background check include checking with the Colorado MMJ Registry? I have to assume they'd have that authority.

Is there any concrete evidence/links that people are getting denied concealed carry permits for the sole reason of being registered as a medical marijuana patient?

HarvestHouse: Did your friend get a letter or something, or did someone at the gun shop say 'don't bother, guns and pot don't mix', or did he actually get denied for that reason?

I've had a CCL on and off for years and been on the registry on and off since 2003. I've purchased two long guns and a handgun in that time. The feds are not checking the registry. AFAIK, they don't have the ability. I recall the CCW form is a state form. When you buy a gun, there's the blue federal form, but I don't recall it asking about marijuana. It's been two years, so it's possible I'm misremembering.

It's frustrating when people seem to cause an uproar over a non-issue, assuming you are accurate or until more info comes to light.

imo the whole med card/laws are a bunch of bullshit. you pretty much do sign over your rights and put on a list. as a American you have the right to own a gun. just my .2 cents

im holding off on my ccw permit bc of one question on the form about mmj. you will commit perjury if you sign it bc it is illegal at the federal level

Get your concealed carry permit. We're not second-class citizens, just because we have a red card. Jealously guard those rights!
