MMJ in Colorado

[UberTong]

Now before everyone starts calling me panama red...I have a friend who is both an avid 2nd ammendment supporter but also has his medical marijuana card here in Colorado. He wanted to buy a new weapon the other day, but had heard some conflicting stories about the feds cross referencing that information etc...anyone know anything about this?

Where is the hippie emoticon with a doobie?

I have heard that you'll fail NCIC.

This has been brought up a few times on here, but we never get a solid answer. I seriously doubt the Fed's cross reference anything.

[UberTong]

Yep thats what he heard as well, thanks for the input.

Whew, I thought I would be outkast as a hippie for sure.

Ya, I don't know what to tell him...I guess for safety and privacy concerns he could just buy private party. I told him I find it hard to believe they are going to cross reference that or come back later and say something as he heard from another source.

According to the 4473, question 11e, he would have to answer "yes" as Fed govt sill considers MMJ an illegal substance. If he answered "no," he could be convicted of perjury (felony). How would anyone know? If when the gun shop closed & turned their records in to ATF & shows he purchased a firearm on day/month/year and had a MMJ card prior to that date, it's a slam dunk conviction for them. I have asked CBI about this situitation (ATF just refers you to CBI as they do the bg check) and they do not have a database of MMJ card holders, yet. Future plans of this were implied, making MMJ card holders prohibited from purchasing a new firearm.

Your friend is also prohibited from being in posession of a firearm while medicated, according to CRS. This time frame is questionable as it depends on what test is used. Either way, meds=no guns. pick one.

I'd agree with this statement, but remember that CBI does background checks here in Colorado... the could check the Fed NCIC database, but they could check State databases as well.

I've also heard rumor that it will get you denied, but no 1st hand experience (nor 2nd or 3rd either, for that matter)

Thanks Colo, great info. Appreciate it.

wow the demographics have changed, dope smokers, video gamers, wow.

This wasn't the intent of the thread. People have smoked dope long before this thread and always will. My buddy had a broken back and many complications afterwards. He refuses to take painkillers like the oxycontin they prescribed him, because he lost a family member to it. So lets not go there and say 'oh dope smokers', is he less than the guy who is hooked on 'legal prescription heroin'? Hatin on video gamers too? Keeps me out of the bars...
