Medical Pot Users Can Carry Concealed Guns

The Oregon Supreme Court rules sheriff's have to issue concealed weapons permits to medical marijuana cardholders who are qualified to carry a weapon.  Leland Berger represented the plaintiff: “In some ways there is this resistance on the part of law enforcement, to this change in the law. It’s really challenging to distinguish between a bag of pot and a bag of therapeutic medical cannabis.” He says some sheriffs began issuing conceal carry permits once the defense was successful in appellate court.
