on a firearm purchase form it asks if you are an unlawful user of marijuana, if you have a mmj card it doesent mean you are a unlawful user on a state level but under a federal level i would immagine it does, it remains to be a grey area that will be challenged in court, the form does not ask you if you are an alcoholic or a perscription drug user........

Thanks Grower for the referance to the article I was thinking of.  I personally have not purchased a weapon since I was awarded a state MMJ card, and have not tried on purpose.  My #1 intent is staying as far off the federal and any government radar as possible.  I own plenty of weapons and will NEVER give them up.

I do recall a story that a patient went to his local gun store, they ran the ATF form, and he/she was not allowd to leave with the weapon.  Delayed for "further investigation".  I do not recall hearing anything more about that case.  I beleive I read it on one of the several Arizona forums I visit.

Been rumored that Veterans might lose the Right to purchase a weapon, especially with any past diagnosis of PTSD.  That rumor has been going on for a couple years.  There is plenty of fear about our Constitutional Rights being stolen from us as the dictator in cheif keeps signing Excecutive Orders.

Best adivise is stay off the radar, keep what weapons you have and obtain more if needed/wanted via the several untraceable methods still available.  I staocked up on ammo and weapons over 5 years ago, all of the weapons and ammo has doubled, some quadrupled in value since then.

Hope that helps you.

people get delayed all the time, nothing to do with mmj, get yourself a ccw permit like i have and u can buy anything, they dont call for a clearence, it costs 60 bucks and u take a 8 hour class on a suturday...

Thanks for the input everyone. Does anyone have any experience or anecdotes about inheriting firearms while possessing an MMJ card?

I'm concerned about some of the recent increased gun-control proposals... if they actually knew how to disarm the loonies it might make sense, but instead just seems to demonize certain subgroups of people who aren't and never have been particularly dangerous. Also, I fear some of these proposed changes may make flying under the radar much more difficult than it currently is today.

Jammer can you get a CCW while on the MMJ registry? Does the State not check?

I wish that was 100% the fact. Did you know your AZ drivers license and/or state ID cards are ;linked to your mmj card ? I know this as fact.

You wouldn't be the first.  The first year around 30,000 patients applied for their MMJ card.  Renewals are averaging 50%.  The assumption is many patients have found "caregivers" or just plain drug dealers who have agreed to keep supplying them marijuana with or without a valid card.  Others (like myself) hate having to pay the government any TAX for the "privilege" to use this natural medicine.

May I suggest if you and other patients decide to protest and not pay the State the $150 renewal taxation, that you consider contacting Bob and donating the $150 and some of your time to help Bob help us all to defeat this 25 Mile Rule.

You are 100% correct, the state ID and drivers license issue is absolutely illegal and against the HIPPA laws, but until someone actually sues and a Judge makes this ruling, the same government who we are forced to pay $150 a year for the "privilege" to consume this medicine violates our Constitutional and Civil Rights.

I have my 3rd card, valid with authorization to cultivate, valid through June 2014.  Regardless of my disgust and other feelings regarding this government taxing and abusing the patients of this state, I will not do anything illegal and give them the opportunity to arrest me. I owns all the guns and ammo I  need, ( it is a crazy world and I will never be anyones "victim, nor will anyone ever get away with doing harm to my family or my children). I drive legally and never give them probable cause t pull me over.  If and when I do, my vehicle is wired to record the interaction with Police both audio and video (per my attorney).  There are literally 100's of "gray" areas of this law, all which will require someone having to go through the legal system and get the magical Judge to rule.  Once the Judge has clarified and ruled on the section of the Law, it becomes Case Law.

I will continue to fight for the Rights of ALL patients, and I will continue to provide the highest quality medicine to as many patients as possible.  I am willing to get arrested and take any case to court and have the best attorney qualified in AZ MMJ laws to defend myself and my family.  People like Bob and myself are spending 100's of hours of time and money fighting the un Constitutional and Illegal 25 Mile Rule.

Really a simple to stay one step ahead of "Big Brother". I'll continue playing this silly little game, because he patients we service are not just patients, they have become friends and family.  I have promised them I will never let them go without, and I am a man of my word.
