Habitual has nothing to do with it.
Until the DEA drops MJ off of the Schedule 1 drug list, the BATF&E will enforce the prohibited person rule.
There is really no other scenario that can be argued.
States can make their laws allowing MJ and gun possession, but it will still be a federal crime. Schedule 1 listing means there is no medical use, even though the U.S. Government owns the patent on medical cannabis.
I've got a novel idea, how about the Federal Government stay the ef out of it?
It's fairly obvious they know they'll lose revenue from the fact that people will almost certainly consume less alcohol and possibly other legal recreational (prescription) drugs that are all but openly abused and no one seems to mind.....<cough-cough>........Adderall.....Xanax....
Who exactly is all that worried about their stoner neighbor anyway? Is that the guy who's going to be rooting through your shed at 2AM? Are they the ones who will have knock down/drag out fights at all hours of the night and have the police at the house?
Hint.........NO, they're not.
More about the prison industry and stodgily trying to apply their morals to anyone and everyone around them. Either or. Or both depending on the person.
There are accepted medical uses and recreational use is generally less adverse to health and conduct than alcohol use is.
Then get a steel gun cabinet and ammo cabinet. I would then put all firearms/ammo in them.
Asking for a friend. Should I be storing guns and ammo in separate cabinets?
I do, I have my home defense weapons and CCW weapons that are always loaded and locked away. The majority that aren’t used for the above are locked up separately (guns/ammo/mags). I have multiple levels of security but I sleep easier knowing with a 6/8 year old in the house that even for them it’s multiple layers of locks between them and a functioning weapon.
I cannot find anything that touches on her husbands weapons or weapons within the house etc.
That is up to you. You can separate both and it will make it harder for an accident to happen. You could remove the bolts, or slides for further piece of mind. But you still need to be aware of the rules. Guns are always loaded until you visual and physically check them. Never keep a gun loaded in storade. Never mix blanks and live ammo or different caliber. There are more rules and a person should understand all them.Asking for a friend. Should I be storing guns and ammo in separate cabinets?

And most important that hasn't been mentioned is to start teaching the rules of gun safety as soon as the kids can understand so they grow up knowing and practicing the rules so they become habits.
...and this will protect them where you don't control the storage!!!

If that were the case why is Oxycontin, Alcohol, Tobacco and High Fructose Corn Syrup fully legal for use?
Those four kill hundreds of thousands of people a year.....
Weed..........zero.
I'm not going to quote that whole post. I'm sure some (some) people die due to being under the influence of Cannabis. You've got a first hand example and that sucks for sure.
Let's see some actual stats though. We know (over decades of data and research) that alcohol is deadly in many different situations up to and including the fact that if you sit down and consume enough it will straight up KILL you on it's own.
Why after literally centuries of use is there not an overwhelming pool of evidence that marijuana is as such?
It's actually still (in my mind) no more than a rhetorical question...... because there is none.
