Failed the DOJ Background check...WTF??

[winnre]

interesting because I know people who have medical cards but have bought guns since 2011

Turner's won't sell you a gun if you have a pot card, they ask.

They did NOT ask me at the Corona, Norwalk or Long Beach store when I purchased guns ther

[dixieD]

Am I really reading this right?

The OP has a history of violently beating people and his wife has a history of illegal, schedual one drug use/possession AND they think they should be able to own firearms????

And, they are strategizing on how to commit a felony on a public forum.

The answer to have you been drinking (check point), do you own firearms (Doctor's inquiry), do you have a pot card (gun store) is always NO.

[Zedrek]

I'm not familiar with the pot card but I would think that it being issued by a medical doctor would make it part of your medical file and therefore not subject to disclosure without your permission.

I have never been asked if I had a Pot card (I don't) during any of my firearms purchases at Turner's or any other locations.

I was thinking the same thing, just didn't want to get flamed here. Maybe the system actually worked this time.

The Feds disagree.

D.C.-and the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration-do not give one flat damn about local regulations permitting pot.

As of right now , its a Federal Schedule I controlled substance. Consume it and you are a drug user according to the Federal government, subject to prosecution like any crack fiend in the ghetto.

Mark "no" on the question asking if you're unlawfully using drugs , and you've just handed a juicy case to the DEA & the ATF. A Medical Marijuana card makes for an excellent piece of evidence in court that you're a drug user, and since drug users cannot own firearms, say hello to Charge #2, lying on the Form 4473.

The only reason people aren't being arrested en-masse for this is because of politics.

Well according to the state's web site:

Let's not forget the 72 hour hold for the wife.
I'm going to go with the dissenters here. I don't think it's a good idea for this crew to have a gun.

[cmichini]

So they don't know the state regulations?

Probably not exacly why they couldn't tell you why you got denied as they probably only get the thumbs up or down.

HOWEVER

I generally wouldn't trust a FUDtard at a LGS to give me an accurate account of the time of day or what they had for breakfast while they're chomping on the last bite.

There's absolutely no way in hell I'd trust them to give me accurate intel about laws in CA - EVER.

YMMV

[joepamjohn]

Op has battery charges, tries to buy gun in wifes name? Wife that was going to do straw a purchase has drug, alchohol and resisting arrest charges, and was put on 72 hour watch for mental issues?

I'm sorry, I am glad you both can get a gun. I wonder what may have happened if guns were at hand when the above transgressions took place. Check back in 7 years, if you are cleared to go then more power to you.

I always see threads like this pop up on Calguns and I fully expect to hear some smarmy TV reporter's voice a few days later saying he he went onto a popular gun website and asked how to circumvent the law and proved that gun people will gladly help someone acquire guns illegally.

As bad as the sob story is, I think as a group we need to emphasize that, as bad as the laws are, we are the ones who follow them.
