I think it won’t have any effect. It’d be easier to count the number of states that haven’t already decriminalized or legalized weed in some fashion. The ATA updated the rulebook to cover any legal/recreational drug. Moot point IMO.
Line 21E on Form 4473: Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside. Now whether or not the government enforces that or not is another story.
Please elaborate. .....I understand State laws can be stricter than Federal laws, but how does State law overrule what Federal law prohibits?
Try to buy a gun here in NJ without a medical and or criminal background check. Not a federal law? But NJ state requires it Federal law Pot not legal, but state law makes it legal, NJ included, with no punishment for possession in your house up to a certain amount.
In Illinois if you have a medical marijuana card you will not pass a background check to buy a gun from a FFL dealer.
