Can A Ccw Card Or Foid Card Be Revoked If You Get Caught With Marijuana?
This has not happened to me, but I heard that the law states your FOID card (which gives you the right to own guns…even though it’s a constitutional one) can be revoked if you’re “found to be addicted to narcotics”.
Sounds to me like if you get pulled over and found with a joint, you can kiss your 2nd amendment rights goodbye for good. How would the framers have felt about that (particularly the ones that grew and smoked hemp)?
convicted felons lose there right to bare arms not a class 2 misdimeanor

In PA… a misdemeanor posession of MJ… even a paraphanalia charge, can be a reason to have your CCW (in PA License to Carry Firearms – LTCF) revoked. However, there are conditions that a posession will allow you to purchase firearms… but not conceal or carry in city of first order, or in case of a dissaster..etc.

once you break the law and are convicted of it, a lot of your rights are changed. In prison you don’t have the right to free speech, public assembly, right to keep and bear arms, etc etc. Is that simply because prisons are built on areas technically ouside the USA? (ala guantanamo bay, or UN headquarters?) No, it is because you are convicted of a crime.
The constitution is silent about the punishment of crime except it must not be cruel and unusal. Hence it is consitutional to send someone to the slammer for life and deprive him of many constitutionally guarenteed rights. Or, they can send him to the slammer for a week and then put him on probation, depriving him of many consitutional guarenteed rights for the rest of his life.
