No problem here with what the USAF did at all.

It does seem excessive to lose 2nd amendment's rights for life, for doing what is now legal in several states.

Edit:
I also assume that law was not on the books when he smoked that dope.
Ex Post Facto, if so his offence should not apply.


He didn't lose his 2nd Amendment rights, just his ability to get a CCW permit.


Exactly. Until/unless the OP's state goes Constitutional Carry, or the entire U.S. goes Constitutional Carry, the permit is subject to the statutes governing it, and in almost every state that issues a permit his level of discharge from military service is a bar to a CHP. He can still own firearms, and he can still bear firearms (openly, in the course of target or recreational shooting, or hunting, etc.). He just can't lawfully carry a concealed firearm.
