Because my daughter and I are on the road a lot late at night with our horses I'd like to be able to complete my CCW permit. I qualify with no problem, but what if they find out I use medical MJ? I have found some articles online but nothing too indepth.
I started using it about 6 months ago due a spinal injury and joint degenerative disease.
California does have an ID card program, I did not participate and only have my Rx with no other paper trail. Will they find out?

or a cop, but here's my experience.

Medical marijuana patient's have been fired from their jobs for a urine screen.
I am pretty sure that you will be refused if you state that you use med. mar. to anyone involved in the process.

The best way to check would be to go to the Prosecuting attorneys office and ask them. If they say OK, would they issue you a letter saying you have permission from the state to carry said firearm. I hate to say it, but it's still a real long shot.

Unless the Prosecuting attorney eat's Sunday dinner at your house, of course, then every thing be Ded

all I know for sure is that any drug offense including mj possession, makes you ineligable for a ccw permit in my state. I believ a "don't ask, don't tell" strategy would work to your benefit here. I don't beliee it would be discovered unless you brought the fcts surrounding your case to their attention. here, a background check is performed, and as long as you don't show any offenses that would disqualify you, you are issued a permit. i have no idea what CA law is like regarding the issue



HERE I found some info regarding CCW in California. Seems you must pass a background check, get training AND be approved by local law enforcement. however, the number of permits issued (39,000) seems rather small compared to caligornia's population, so getting that "approval" may be easier said than done. its up to the local police to decide whether or not you "deserve" a permit or not, which is very messed up, IMO

I am clear criminally, and the local Sheriff gets to say OK. Yup, firearms course and background is all I have to do. I am going to go the route you stated, and just not provide that personal info. If they find out, they will just take it away. I found many court decisions where judges gave back the CCW permit to those revoked for medical MJ use. So that is helpful, not that I wouuld actually go to court and spread my laundry in my own community. My busniess belongs in my bedroom not county courts! Thanks for the post

Just so you know, in the event you do shoot a person, you may likely be subject to a drug test. If I were you I would be ready to pass a drug test in a day's notice should you plan on using your gun. There are some "elixirs" out there that do clean out your system in a few hours, they also have a very long shelf life, you can hide one in a pack of cigarettes for years before it expires. I am also planning on getting my concealed carry permit, so I have given this some thought.

I'm also getting my concealed weapons permit shortly. I live in washington. A background check and fingerprints are maditory before a 30 day waiting period if one passes the screen. Washington doesn't require a firearms course. What kind of couse is it? and how long?
I wouldn't think that mmj use would affect this process, but thats just a guess. Thats the way it should be. If they screw you and refuse a CCP. You can still carry a firearm in your vehicle if... The firearm is out of reach of the driver and ammo is separated and out of reach. Both must also be out of sight. At least its this way in Washington.

Best of luck to you. :spark:

Yes, thats true in most states, but it also basically nullifies the purpose of carrying a weapon for defense. in a truely defensive situation, finding the gun and ammo, uncasing it, and loading it will severely affect your changes of survival. A defensive gun should be loaded and within easy reach. otherwise, its merely a decoration without much practical purpose

For those looking into a CCW permit, I would read up on your state at:

www.packing.org

It has state by state listings of statutes, and which states are "may issue" vs. "shall issue." If you live in a shall issue state, then as long as you aren't disqualified by certain enumerated convictions, etc., then you must be issued a permit. If you live in a may issue state, then your local police chief/sheriff gets to decide on a case-by-case basis whether you should get one. They will take into account any information that they may have about past or present drug use.

I've been around.

I just try to limit my posts to topics that I know something about. Whether $30 or $50 or $80 is too much to spend for a 1/4 of "dank bud" is something I can't really add any insight into.
