Gun laws for drug addicts
My previous post was closed so I thought I'd ask a different way. I am not asking for advise, just want I know if anyone knows the law. Assuming no felony convictions and just a past addiction, what are the laws regarding passing a background check for someone with a past history of drug abuse? This is in California if that makes any difference.

The fact that it's in CA may make a huge difference. Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed in CA law, so I'm going to steer clear of that part. Fortunately, we've got a few folks hanging around who are well-versed in CA law.
As for federal law: Quote:

California law is here and here.
