Title/Section Subsection Description Grade Disposition Date of Conviction, Positive Drug Test, Admission of Use, etc. Name of Notifying Official Please Print Name Signature of Notifying Official 27 C.F.R. § 478.11 UNLAWFUL USER OF OR ADDICTED TO ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE n n n Date / / A person who uses a controlled substance and has lost the power of self-control with reference to the use of the controlled substance; and any person who is a current user of a controlled substance in a manner other than as prescribed by a licensed physician. Such use is not limited to the use of drugs on a particular day, or within a matter of days or weeks before, but rather that the unlawful use has occurred recently enough to indicate that the individual is actively engaged in such conduct. A person may be an unlawful current user of a controlled substance even though the substance is not being used at the precise time the person seeks to acquire a firearm or receives or possesses a firearm. An inference of current use may be drawn from evidence of a recent use or possession of a controlled substance or a pattern of use or possession that reasonably covers the present time. For example: · · · A conviction for use or possession of a controlled substance within the past year; Multiple arrests for such offenses within the past five years if the most recent arrest occurred within the past year; or Persons found through a drug test to use a controlled substance unlawfully, provided that the test was administered within the past year. n For a current or former member of the Armed Forces, an inference of current use may be drawn from recent disciplinary or other administrative action based on confirmed drug use, e.g., court-martial conviction, nonjudicial punishment, or an administrative discharge based on drug use or drug rehabilitation failure. As defined in 21 U.S.C. § 802 and 21 C.F.R. Part 1308, the term "controlled substance" includes but is not limited to marijuana, depressants, stimulants, and narcotic drugs. The term "controlled substance" does not include distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, or tobacco (as those terms are defined or used in Subtitle E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
