[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2214677, member: 18914"] Not at all - the 4473 is a Federal form and the question would still be valid in reference to Federal laws. Right now if you are using marijuana in Colorado - legal under state law - you can fail your background check for a gun purchase. Since marijuana possession is illegal under Federal law, state law is irrelevant to the 4473. BTW - if you do use marijuana and answer "no" to the drug use question - you will then be guilty of lying on the 4473 which is itself a crime. Disclaimer - I am not a lawyer but since so many lawyers and others freely give their opinions on military matters I thought I'd just pipe-up (no pun intended) on this question. [/QUOTE]
