I don't know the answers to that, and I don't know any put shop owners to ask.

One of the guys I work with also works at a rec pot shop. They take cash only, but some of the med shops take CC's and he said that as he understands it, some smaller locally owned banks will take on one or two "high risk" accounts so that allows some medical dispensaries to get access to CC processing.

According to line 21 it would appear that CCW holders are not require to have a NICS check.
This failed in CO.
I wonder how that is going to play out...

That's evidently pretty low risk. In the 2010 Brady Act Enforcement report, the data shows that 54k felons, fugitives and locally prohibited persons were denied after a NICS check. The FBI turned over a total of 58k names to ATF. ATF send 4k names to the field for investigation. 90 were prosecuted. 13 were found guilty.

Pretty sure the feds actually relaxed that banking rule due to the increase in crime brought by the cash business.

Don't have time at the moment to goggle foo that, but I can probably find it.

Hey guys, just in case anyone was wondering, weed is still federally illegal.

No sarcasm here. It's becoming reasily apparent that this entire state that completely forgotten that.

It's also pretty apparent that the Federal government isn't going to do anything to enforce those laws in states that have legalized weed. And every day that goes by without the federal government enforcing those laws, they become incrementally weaker.

Fun fact: In many states, adultery, fornication and sodomy are illegal, too. What do you think would happen if all of a sudden a state tried to enforce those laws?

It depends if people were willing to check a box to let the Federal Government know about their fornication.

I have my fornication permit.
