Had a friend tell me about meth head that tried climbing through a window into his house in HI where he lived with his young kids and wife. . .

Even after my friend switching on the light and going at the guy with a club, dude kept trying to climb all the way in.

Guess he finally got pummeled enough to give up. . .

These lawmakers ought to have to live with such concerns before considering such dipshit legislation like that.

Delaware police officials seek to firm up gun ban, want weed use noted on driver’s licenses

By Randall Chase, The Associated Press

DOVER, Del. — As lawmakers consider whether to legalize recreational marijuana use, some law enforcement officials are suggesting new steps to ensure that marijuana users in Delaware don’t have guns.

William Bryson, chairman of the Delaware Police Chiefs Council, told a state panel Wednesday that marijuana users should be required to have a driver’s license endorsement indicating that they use pot.

Bryson says the proposal would help ensure that users of marijuana, whether for medical or recreational purposes, are in compliance with federal law, which prohibits marijuana users from owning guns.

Bryson noted that the federal background check form requires gun purchasers to state whether they unlawfully use marijuana. It also warns them that marijuana use remains unlawful under federal law, regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized by a state.

Honolulu medical marijuana patients can keep their guns, but not buy new ones

By The Associated Press

HONOLULU — The Honolulu Police Department has been requiring medical marijuana patients to relinquish their guns, but the department’s chief says that never should have happened.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that Chief Susan Ballard said on Wednesday it’s legal for a new medical marijuana patient to possess guns they already own, but they can’t buy additional guns once they become a patient.

The department will continue to deny new gun permits for marijuana patients, but the days of making them give up their guns are over.

Probably realized they were treading on the 2nd Amendment and didn’t want that fight.

I strongly suspect that in their cost:benefit analysis, they've (correctly) concluded that it's a lot less potentially hazardous to tell someone "No' at a sales counter, than to show up at who-knows-how-many peoples' homes, and say, "Give us your guns."

-I- wouldn't want that job. Not even if they were paying double salary with full benefits.

Does he also ask them to turn over their firearms if they drink alcohol?

I think more people harmed others while under the influence of alcohol vs cannabis by a long shot.
