I read the report and I don't disagree with them. From the LEO days of my youth, alcohol was a lot worse than weed any day.....

I just don't like it. When I worked at LGS I would not sell them a firearm. If customers asked why I would say I don't want you lying on a federal form. When my boss asked I told him they smoked dope. Never an issue

The weed of today is way more potent than the weed of the 70s. Today I think theres a general acceptance that drinking and driving dont mix; but that doesnt seem to be the same with pot

My thing is simply, I never had any knock down, drag out fights with weed users, alcohol were a whole nother issue.

In 25 years, I never encountered a violent weed smoker. They got the munchies and the nods, ate what they could find and took a nap.

Im not sure thats the same anymore at least it wasnt when I was working. I found drunks easier to deal with and fight when necessary but YMMV

wonder if the (d) will find something to complain about with that decision?

Seems to be the left doesn't require a functional brain to be in office either.

That means most of CA, CO and OR can now own a gun

Hi,

This does not seem like a bad ruling, and quite limited. I like to have an adult beverage in my home, maybe two. But I do not indulge while I'm out and about and carrying. If a user limits their usage and will not be under the influence when carrying outside the home, I guess I don't have a problem with that.

I've noticed the wording on the 4473 has changed a little. Section A Line 21 e. now asks "Are you an unlawful user of...". So many states have legalized the medicinal and recreational use so the Feds seem to be giving a little leeway.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Just from the odds and numbers you undoubtly did . I suspect your point was never Because of weed use .

With significant double digit percent of the population at least occasional indulging in weed , you can't interact with the public , and not encounter them .

That's not saying that they were stoned when interacted with , or a Stoner generally , just that they ever indulge .

Habitual Drunkard has definitions and legal standards . It doesn't categorically deny firearms ownership to anyone who ever has a beer .
