That's a good question, keep in mind we have a crooked attorney general. I own guns and I had them long before I got a mm card. I've never had an accidental discharge and I never shoot or handle a firearm when under the influence. I don't have a cpl and I probably wont get one until cannabis is rescheduled. Michigan is open carry anyway, just don't transport pot and guns at the same time. I took this from another forum. Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters argued that issuing the license would violate federal law, specifically the Gun Control Act of 1968. That act from 44 years ago specifically forbids anyone who uses or is addicted to a controlled substance from having a firearm. The court found that Sheriff Winters had no precedent to deny Ms Willis her renewed gun permit license based on the fact she was a medical marijuana patient. The sheriff took the case to an appellate court, where Willis prevailed again, then Winters took the case all the way to the Oregon Supreme Court. The highest court in Oregon also agreed with the lower courts.The MI carry permit app has the following language:
8. Not be prohibited from possessing, using, transporting, selling, purchasing, carrying, shipping, receiving, or distributing a firearm under
MCL 750.224f.MCL 250.224f does mention
unlawful possession of a controlled substance, however if MM is legal in MI and the OP has his card etc. it would not appear to be unlawful possession
However, as stated, the permit app includes the following:
B. Federal Requirements
Pursuant to MCL 28.426, a Concealed Pistol License may not be issued to a person prohibited under federal law from possessing or transporting a firearm. The federal requirements to possess or transport a firearm include that the applicant:
1.
Not have been convicted in any court of, or under indictment for, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year (e.g. felony or misdemeanor punishable by 2 years).
2.
Not be a fugitive of justice.
3.
Not be an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any controlled substance, as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802).
According to the
ATF letter, the Federal law makes no distinction between unlawful pot use and permitted medicinal use.
