If you include states that have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes only, there are now 24 states that permit pot. There are 42 states where an adult non-felon’s right to carry a concealed gun is either unrestricted or subject only to permissive “shall issue” laws. Sixteen states fall into both categories.
If you limit yourself to places that allow marijuana even without a prescription and concealed carry even without a permit, you settle on the freest state in the union – Alaska.
Now we now know the real reason RE lives there.
Hey, that’s why we call it the Great Land. But don’t get caught w/ the wacky tobaccy until Prop 2 goes into effect, around March 1.
Diagram ignores the fact that if you smoke the reefers and honestly fill in your fed backround check, no gun for you. Not sure how I feel about concealed carrying stoners either. Hopefully when stoned they would leave the gun home.
JtB-Private sales-no background check. Besides, demographically this is largely an “either/or” choice-the majority of CC won’t be partaking, at least not while carrying. I’ll take my chances.

Pot in New York: $100 Ticket. No Charges. No Record. No Nothing
By Tom Randall and Henry Goldman – Nov 10, 2014
Pot isn’t legal in New York. After today, it might as well be.
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton told officers to stop arresting people carrying small amounts of pot. Instead, first-time offenders will get a court summons (basically a ticket; $100 for the first, $200 for the second) and walk away.
For possession of 25 grams (0.88 ounce) or less, there will be no arrest. No criminal charges. No fingerprinting. No mug shot. No criminal record. If an employer asks a job applicant whether he or she has been convicted or arrested, the correct answer will be no. (Violators will still need to make an appearance in court, smoking in public may still result in arrest.)
The change in New York enforcement, effective Nov. 19, follows a nationwide trend of decriminalization and legalization. After this month’s elections, four states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana and 19 states have legalized medical marijuana. When polled, more than half of U.S. residents think pot should be legal.
De Blasio and Bratton both oppose legalizing marijuana, though de Blasio said he’s interested in reviewing the experience of places that have tried it.
“Don’t smoke it. Don’t carry it. Don’t use it. It’s still against the law,” Bratton said at a press conference today. “I’m not giving out get-out-of-jail-for-free cards.”
He certainly isn’t. Because you won’t be going to jail.
Oregon can be added to this list. They just legalized recreational pot use, and have unrestricted carry.
