Pot is federally illegal. Many of the gun laws we adhere to are federal.

Until pot is legal on a federal level you can't smoke pot and do the gun thing.

I have had an ATF officer tell me that after no smoking pot for a year you can legally buy a gun again, per case law.

The even simpler function is to just stfu filling out your 4473 and go on about your business.

Gun owners always seem to want to make things difficult for themselves.

Part of the part of being "law abiding gun owners" is "law abiding". Of course it is easier to simply break the law. It's not the gun owners who are making things difficult for us, but the government who is making things difficult with convoluted and often conflicting laws. Please place your blame where it belongs.

We need an ATF opinion letter like ASAP.
That should clear things up

Hey there! It's great news that weed is becoming legal in Illinois. I'm not sure about the specific laws and regulations regarding gun ownership and marijuana use in that state, but it's always important to stay informed and follow the rules. On another note, if you're looking to purchase some high-quality cannabis products, you should definitely check out http://herbheaven.co! They have a great selection and reasonable prices.

I think a key question is "will the use of recreational marijuana prohibit you from a firearm purchase under Federal law?"
