Marijuana Gun Owners Under Threat now?
I suspect that millions are Marijuana users and subject to confiscation of all their firearms soon.Legalizing recreational Marijuana use in States is a catch -22 for them soon. Watch out for Red laws to be enforced strongly soon.

Bobjudy, I understand the premise of their wording, I should have caught that.
I live in the great state of Illinois, and we have had to have a Firearm Owners Identification (F. O. I. D.) card since 1968. You must have the card on your possession even on your own property while hunting, or to purchase ammunition. So over the years I have learned to ask many questions when it comes to the wording about firearms.
In fact here is one question I have never been able to fully get answered. I have a concealed carry license, and when I was taking the course I asked this question. While the gun is on my PERSON I know I’m legal. But then I get in my car and I decide to take it off my belt or out of my pocket so it is more comfortable to drive, and put it in the clove box or console, and the gun is still loaded and not in a case, is that legal? According to the law of Illinois in order to transport a firearm it has to be, unloaded, cased and out of the reach of the driver. Point being, is it still under rules of CC or my F.O.I.D. No one seems to have the answer. It is becoming where one almost has to be a lawyer anymore in order to enjoy the sport of shooting or protecting your self.

I sympathize with you having to put up with the Illinois gun laws. Michigan has some rather strange rules as well. For instance, open carry is legal without a CFL but to transport a weapon it must be unloaded, cased and inaccessible to the occupants of the vehicle. In other words you can carry it loaded on your person in public but not in a vehicle.
Back when I was selling guns if a customer had a CFL a background check was not required. After I asked how do we know the customer didn't get in trouble with the law after getting his CFL, we started doing background checks on everyone. Just because he had the CFL card didn't mean it was valid. Our law makers never think things all the way through. Bob
