View Full Version : What not to wear when purchasing a gun
When you walk into a gun shop with the intention of purchasing a gun, you probably shouldn't be wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a marijuana leaf on it. Just saying...

Why not? How about a budweiser t-shirt? Both substances are just as legal in Colorado now.

Didn't realize you could buy marijuana at the local liquor store or local grocer. I agree, both substance impair ability and neither one is a good thing to do if you plan on shooting. However; a majority of us on here I am certain are far more likely to agree that drinking a fine alcoholic beverage is far more acceptable than imbibing in the use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Just sayin'.

Marijuana may be legal at the State level but not at the Federal level.

And depending on who you talk to, knitting is far more socially acceptable than being involved in firearms. Making an argument about what is and isn't acceptable in society is pretty easy when you have a selective audience.

I've known some highly educated people with very good jobs that smoke pot and they were conservatives. Open your mind up a little and you may realize you have bought into the government anti marijuana propaganda from the last 50+ years.

Stoners are funnier to interact with when they are under the influence, drunks are just idiots.
If the GOP doesn't get on board with at least letting pot be an individual choice, they are going to lose a lot of moderate votes and have a hard time getting power back. A few other social issues are killing them too.

Colorado law; yes. Federal law; no.
When purchasing a firearm you are completing a FEDERAL ATF Form 4473 which specifically asks about illegal (based off of Federal, not CO law) drug use. As much as the pro-pot oljs wish (and claim) it isn't so, regarding firearm purchases, Fed law trumps.
Wearing the shirt with pot image on it for a firearm purchase would be as smart as wearing an anti-gov/militia shirt when having your CCW interview. Just not smart.

Maybe the pro-pot folks wouldn't have such a hard time convincing folks that it's no worse than liquor if they hadn't spent those same 50 years trying to tell everybody that smoking pot is really the same as smoking tobacco cigarettes ("except marijuana isn't addictive and tobacco is")..

The 4473 does not ask if you are "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, shooting an AR with a 30 round mag. It says "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance."

I know what you are saying but wearing a weed shirt makes you just as much of a law breaker as wearing a 30 round mag shirt, which is not at all. I have a Burton hoodie that I wear, I guess people would assume I snowboard but I don't. People may not like the weed shirt any more than the AR shirt, but its nobody's business what I wear.

Until the feds come on board with weed use and the 4473 no longer ask that question. One is better to be quiet about their "habits", than roll in smelling like weed.

Guess we've never met the same kind of "drunks". Most of my father's side of the family were alcoholics with the exception of him and a few others. Very few fit the profile you listed.
What Squeeze said. Lots of 'functional' drunks. Drunks seem to have more hustle than stoners. I don't mind potheads too much. But lately my job has me dealing with them more. When potheads don't get their way they get cranky. Not all potheads are friendly.

Show up with one in our shop and I will question you about it. If you use or have a medical MJ card, you don't get a firearm.
You seem to be forgetting that a person CANNOT be a habitual user of marijuana and possess a fire arm, nor be under the influence. We've thrown people out before for smelling like pot. It's against the law for them to just be in the store.

Thank you. I'm not saying that either side, drunk vs. stoner, is better than the other in regards to firearm handling. I don't believe drunks or stoners should be in possession of firearms. If you're addicted to a substance, illegal or otherwise, that is a problem and adding a gun to the mix only makes things 100x worse. My point in this debacle is, IF a guy walked into my gun store with a pot leaf on his shirt and he had interests in purchasing a firearm, I'd tell him to pound sand. People don't wear shirts like that because they think the leaf on the front looks "cool", it's a statement. As it was mentioned earlier, marijuana may be legal at the state level but not at the federal level. Also, I'm not a criminal defense attorney, so unlike them, I have a conscience and want to know when I go to bed at night I didn't knowlingly sell a gun to a damn addict. I've denied private sale to people in the past because I had a funny feeling about the person who was interested in purchasing. As the owner of the item, you can choose to do business with whomever you choose, that's the beauty of it. If people get their thong in a twisted up knot because you tell them "No" for whatever reason, so be it. Hand them an Obama doll and tell them to cuddle with it and that'll make all the bad shit go away.

I think the question of whether or not pot smokers should have that taken into account might be for a different thread.
This thread is titled, "What not to wear when making a firearm purchase."
Can you wear a tshirt with a pot leaf on it? Sure.
I think the question is, should a tshirt with a pot leaf be worn while making a firearm purchase? In today's frenzied finger-pointing climate, it may not be the best impression to make to walk into a gun store wearing any sort of "I heart cannabis" symbols. In the same token, it would not make the best impression to wear any sort of "statement" items; shirts decorated with dead-terrorist targets, gang symbols, racist-toned or otherwise- it all adds to the impression that gun owners are unbalanced and anti-social, "dangerous" types. Is it a little overboard? Sure it is. Are the anti-gun folks just dying to point out anything relating to guns that might prove them right? Of course they are.
Like it or not, we're lumped into a "we vs. they" struggle. We represent the gun owners and Pro 2A enthusiasts. Tell me you don't flinch a little bit at the news when there's been a shooting or something gun-related that nibbles away at the credibility we have. Why would you want to give the other side any more reason to grab a cell phone picture and post it on their blog with a caption that supports their opinion?

Likewise for pot heads. One of them runs / owns multiple business here and down south. The drunks i knew were for the most part docile until they started tossing back a few. Then their manhood took over, usually not for the best. So we can agree to disagree. Po Tah Toe, poTot Toe

I'd not sell to them either.. cuz well lets face it 99.9% of the time someone who wears pot related clothing .. smokes on the regular ...
sure I guess out of 1000 of the pot related shirt wearing folk 1 doesn't smoke... but if he was dumb enough to wear that shirt while buying a gun .... maybe he's too stupid to own one.

I don't view pot any differently than any other substance that produces a desired un-natural effect on one's body. Caffeine, alcohol, heroin, ibuprofen, cocaine, benedryl... they're all just different degrees. I say legalize it all and let Darwin sort them out. The gene pool is in bad need of refreshing.
CONTROLLED, KEY WORD, CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.
There is another "or" in there before controlled substance. :) A lawyer or over zealous prosecutor could have a field day over the way this is worded.

Couldn't agree more with this.
However; a majority of us on here I am certain are far more likely to agree that drinking a fine alcoholic beverage is far more acceptable than imbibing in the use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Just sayin'.
I am not among that "majority".
This one gets old...
Both alcohol and marijuana impair your reflexes, judgement, coordination etc. They both should not be consumed while driving, shooting, making important life decisions etc. And too much of either is a problem, when it impinges on someone else's life.
The old saw about "well... alcohol's legal, and pot ain't" is hypocritical. Many people on this forum specifically state how little regard they have for some of the new legislation passed re: gun control, and how they intend to ignore it in their own quiet way. I say more power to them! But you can't pick and choose which laws you feel are worth adhering to, and then use the same legislative system to condemn somebody else doing the same damn thing!!
I disagreed with A-64, because I was afraid it would turn Colorado into a pot mecca for idiots, like Amsterdam. Not because I saw anything wrong with somebody choosing to smoke weed.
Holy shit! Get the hell over it. There was a vote. An OVERWHELMING majority of Colodoans, in every county, voted to legalize marijuana. Stop whining like a bunch of little girls. If you don't like pot, move, or keep it to yourself.
You lost.
The winning party had to listen to your uneducated hatred of a plant for no other reason than your daddy told you it was bad. Just like I tell my dog "leave it!"
and FUCK THE FEDS.
Also, I would love to see a shop owner NOT take my $1,000 because of my attire. You would just smile a big ole grin, take my greenbacks, and wish me a heartfelt good day. So don't pretend your butt hurt little feelings about losing a vote will trump being a capitalist.

Whoa. Your opinion differs with others, and you've got your reasons and that's great and all, but to assume that everyone that disagrees with you does so for no good reason that you can discern (I.E., 'uneducated' and 'for no other reason than your daddy told you it was bad') is not only a massive overstep, but entirely bad form.
You disagree? Great. Explain why without the name-calling or snarkery that you find on a million other gun forums. You may have to just agree to disagree, because there are some subjects that are touchier than others. There's a lot of 'butthurt' emanating from your post, too. Glass houses, stones, etc.
By the way, welcome to the forums. Try to remember that we all have more things in common with each other, and we're all people behind the keyboards.

Now, back to the original question, after Sportsmans Warehouse closed in Aurora my son wore one of their $3 polo shirts into Gander Mtn to look at a 1911. We stood at the counter for 20 minutes while three people got paid to visit and ignore us. Then we left never to purchase there again.
I don't have to prove you use, I just have to prove you have a card. Having one is enough to get you denied. That's the law here and we don't feel like having ATF slam this place with 15 guys armed with fully automatic weapons, throwing flashbangs, screaming at the customers to "GET THE FUCK ON THE GROUND!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", be prone out, handcuffed, thrown in a van, questioned, and then told to have a nice day, "BTW, your carpet was burned and your front door is broken. See ya' later."
I understand that, but it doesn't make what I said untrue.

I think a few members here just put themselves on an informal "Do Not Sell To" list for the Trading Post items........
Why, Because they don't have the same belief system you do regarding weed, or alcohol? What someone does to their body is Their Choice. What someone does on a 4473 is their choice too. You choose to lie on a federal document, it's your problem, not mine.

I am going to flip this for you and see if you still agree
Holy shit! Get the hell over it. There was a vote. An OVERWHELMING majority of Coloradans*, in every county, voted FOR GUN CONTROL AND A BAN ON HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES. Stop whining like a bunch of little girls. If you don't like it, move, or keep it to yourself.
You lost.
The winning party had to listen to your uneducated fears for no other reason than the manufacturers told you that you needed them. Just like I tell my dog "leave it!"
and FUCK THE FEDS.
So Bmac, I am interested in your opinion on this... your words, comparable subject
