What do you guys think about guns in CO?

[canaguy27]

It is illegal to purchase a firearm if you are a "addict" of marijuana.

I don't recall what it says on the form for when you purchase a gun, but I know for a fact that you cannot have a concealed to carry license and mmj rec.

It actually says "illegal user" on the questionnaire, which when they say illegal, they mean federally. Since mj is illegal federally, you will commit perjury if you lie on this form.

But that is for a concealed permit. I can't comment on already owning one because I have not researched it.

They may mean it federally - but they don't explicitly say that. It would be very easy to argue that you were answering in good faith.

what he/she ment to say was he/she knew for a fact he/she can...untill he/she gets caught.

OR

untill he/she runs into the wrong leo or fed agent.sure you might run into a nice leo from time to time maybe with an oz on ya or something.but try to have a 1/2 lb or more and see what happens i'd bet it would/could have a whole diffrent outcome. it really just depends, but for one to say without a doubt they can. well we all know where the iq lvl of the person saying that would have to be.

IIRC, it's a double-sided state form you fill out for the CHL and all it asks is if you're an unlawful user, which you presumably are not. There's a fee and a background check by the Sheriff and that's that. Besides, if you really have qualms about the form and your legality, just stop smoking for whatever length of time it takes to assuage your conscience and answer "no." The permit is good for five years.

This topic comes up all the time; I'm surprised people are so alarmed about it when there is no problem at all.

Just bought a new handgun last week and yeah they ask about mj use on the federal background form. Its pretty bad that in order to safe your federal government forces you to lie. The 10th Amendment overides all this but someone's got to do the court case to prove it.
I hate the way this country force law abiding citizens to break the law.

The 9th and 10th amendments, which may be the most important of all the bill of rights, have been dead letters since FDR's New Deal legislation was mostly upheld by his appointees to the Supremes. Obama's appointees make it even more unlikely than it was before(and it was damn unlikely before) that that will change any time soon.

They do explicitly say that.

If you stop smoking, then you don't need your medicine. If that is true, then you are supposed to turn over your card immediately according to law.

And since if you have your card, you are federally an unlawful user, then technically you can't have your permit and red card.

I recognize it is just perjury, but it is still illegal.
