IIRC the 4473 asks if one is a "user" ( that to me would mean current or recent, repeated ).
It doesnt ask if " have you ever used? "
I think the wording specific enough, but obviously anything can be argued and a definitive time frame would/should stop such legal argument.
The wording about " addicted " removes the time frame IMHO, some entity would have to have declared the person as such. So even if they quit using for quite a while, once that label has been affixed, they are screwed w that question.
Same for folks that voluntarily seek mental health.
Once somebody puts something on a form youre screwed.
Some lady wanted a gun but had voluntarily went to some shrink when going through divorce years before. I dunno how much money she spent on lawyer to clean it up.....if it did.
At least she answered the 4473 honestly.
Pretty sure it says "are you, or have you ever been, a user of or addicted to" so one puff of shetty weed 30 years ago would be disqualifying.
