Re: "No guns for pot users" (Thursday): There's a bit of a disconnect in this article. What does a pot user's inability to buy/own/posses a weapon have to do with a clerk's ability to own a weapon for personal protection? The article goes into detail regarding the federal law as it applies to medical marijuana and gun control. But in the middle of the article there suddenly appears a quote from a pot store owner who says essentially that this federal law prohibits his clerks from protecting themselves. Are we to assume all medical marijuana store clerks have prescriptions for marijuana? Why am I not surprised. Bruce Hedrick Redding - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
