Anyone know how other states are handling this since MJ is illegal on the federal level?  Or is it because we have registration which leads only to confiscation.

I wrote in another thread that my friend was denied in Vegas to even shoot at the tourist range because he told them he just came from the MJ store, but didn't consume anything.

Does anyone know if these are folks who applied for a new permit or permit renewal this year?

Or are they actually combing the Med. Marijuana registration list and comparing it to the registered gun owner list?

If you didn't sign over your privacy rights to med records how could they get it ?
Unless the first time you apply for a permit it's a lifetime consent form.

If you read the articles, they say the police have access to the patient list because it used to be managed by the dept of public safety.

The Cops are using that access to obtain the names and crosschecking them with registrations.

Please cite the source where it says they're cross-checking the patient list with registrations.
You sure not cross-checking with permit applications?

(See my updated post above and the Civil Beat article)

Why are you hung up on that minor detail?  You know people always use firearm registration and permits interchangeably.  Registrations are more complete than permits, since someone with a long gun permit may have hero long guns registered to them, as an example.

I'm also interested in whether or not this is a proactive or retroactive type deal.  Using it to deny new permits is one thing.  Going back through the database to confiscate is basically what we fear as gun owners regarding registration and why many are opposed.

I wouldn't call it pro or retro, seems like someone behind the scenes is pulling the strings (probably Chin).  There have been a lot more of these letters being sent out for mental health confiscation.  My friend saw a marriage counselor 6 years ago, and has bought many guns since and renewed his permit 6x since.  Only this year he got a letter saying he needs a shrink to sign off that he is mentally stable.  And only after his permit was renewed.

Who would think Espero would be on our side:

"Harvey Gerwig, head of the Hawaii Rifle Association, partially agreed, saying, “A person who is taking medicine shouldn’t be deprived of their Second Amendment rights.”

But Gerwig also said he considers the state’s medical marijuana program “a fraud on many levels.”
