Do they scan your ID? Or just look at it?

From a privacy perspective I don't want my name ending up in some national database

Lol, that's one of my concerns. A buddy of mine had to give up his gun license when he got his medical card.

What State? I have lived in CA & CT renewing both. As in I had my pot card when I renewed my gun license and I had my gun license when I renewed my pot card. While you may wind up on two agency lists, it would be a HIPPA violation to do anything with that medical list…like combine it with a gun permit list

I was under the assumption that to have a gun license, one needs to attest to not using any federally illegal substances. I would love to own a gun, but I'm a drop dead stoner lol

Oh yeah, that part about the attestation is true. But let’s interpret that. If I did cocaine 10 years ago how should I answer that question? Should I answer it with my intent?

So I just bought a gun and here is the question it asks. Are you an unlawful user!!!! Then qualifies by saying it’s still federally unlawful. So very confusing indeed

Yeah wouldn't want your GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID to be in some GOVERNMENT DATABASE

Right now I am not in a database of pot smokers. I'd like to keep it that way.

The information is technically "private" but yes they absolutely keep records. There are limits on how much you can get per day they have to know who's coming and going and how much/what they're getting. It might not be an accessible national database but you absolutely are in the system
