The ATF has issued a notice to Arkansas regarding its Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL) program. The ATF is concerned that Arkansas law, specifically House Bill 1784, allows individuals who use medical marijuana to obtain a CHCL, which can then be used to bypass the federal NICS background check when acquiring firearms. This is problematic because federal law prohibits unlawful users of controlled substances, including marijuana, from possessing firearms. The ATF is requesting clarification from Arkansas on how it ensures CHCL holders are not federally prohibited persons and warns that failure to address these concerns could result in the CHCL no longer qualifying as an alternative to the NICS check.
