You just lie when filling that form out. Nobody will do anything because if it got turned into a case that made it to the Supreme Court, it would most likely be the end of a large bit of that background check. A lot of that stuff has very questionable constitutionality.
And before the downvotes or flames… let’s be completely honest here. Anybody in a recreational state who owns a gun and filled out that forum lied. I mean technically you aren’t supposed to smoke pot in federal land like a national park or forest yet it happens all the time and nobody cares. Not all laws get enforced.
- scarface74 4y agoYes because your case has any likelihood of making it to the Supreme Court where you have an overzealous prosecutor and an overworked public defender.
- spookthesunset 4y agoThe odds of lying about marijuana use on that form coming back to haunt me is effectively 0%. I'm not loosing any sleep over it!
- scarface74 4y agoLet’s say you got pulled over for “fitting the description” or because you “looked suspicious” and let’s say that it’s one of the cops “specially trained to detect being under the influence” [1]. Let’s also say that you are legally allowed to carry. Do you really think there is a non zero chance that cops won’t use any excuse to make an arrest seem legit? https://www.11alive.com/article/news/investigations/the-drug-whisperer-drivers-arrested-while-stone-cold-sober/85-437061710 https://www.11alive.com/article/news/investigations/the-drug... I choose not to trust that the justice system will ever veer in my favor.
- giantg2 4y agoThe justice system isn't about justice, it's about control, power, and winning.
- giantg2 4y agoUnless you have a documented use, like a card. Then the risk goes way up because it's easy for them to search.
- scarface74 4y agoI think you give the government too much credit still. In Florida for instance, ex-convicts registered to vote at the county office and were told they could based on a new law. The county clerks gave them bad information and they were still arrested.
- giantg2 4y agoI'm not sure what you're talking about...
- scarface74 4y agoIt doesn’t matter how much “documentation” you have, if the criminal justice system wants to target you it will.
- giantg2 4y agoYeah... I'm saying the documentation that you have a medical marijuana make it more likely they would target you, because it's not that difficult to cross-reference various government lists (marijuana database and NICS).
