Michigan CPL FAQ: Can A Person Receive Both A CPL And A Medical Marijuana License?

Ask The Michigan Firearms Instructor
Q: Hello, I have a question Sir. If someone obtains both a CPL (Concealed Pistol License) and a MMC
(Medical Marijuana) card, does one interfere with the other?

A: The ATF at the federal level issued a memo recently whereby they assert that a Medical Marijuana License holder is a user of a controlled substance. As such, they believe that you can not own or buy a handgun and that your status could negatively affect your ability to get a state concealed pistol license.

You are strongly encouraged to not only conduct your own independent research but to also consult with a competent and qualified attorney before acting upon any information in this article. Laws covering self-defense, lethal force, firearms, and the Michigan Concealed Pistol License and their enforcement are always subject to change due to laws being amended, politics conducted in the Prosecutor's Office, and election results at all levels of government. Ignorance of the law, legally speaking, is not a valid excuse for running afoul of it. The penalties and fines imposed upon violators of firearms related offenses are stiff and severe.
