First Thursday, March 2026

The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in the case United States v. Hemani . The case deals with whether federal criminal statute 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which makes it a felony for an “unlawful user” of a controlled substance to possess a firearm, is constitutional when it is used to prosecute a person who is a marijuana user and who keeps a gun safely secured at home for self-defense. The case will have important ramifications for law enforcement officers as marijuana use is becoming more accepted both recreationally and medicinally.
