How many firearms enthusiasts are smokers?

By smokers, I mean smokers of the the green tobacco. My reason for asking this is because most firearms enthusiasts I've come across or spoken to seem to be folks who are straight laced and fairly conservative, sometimes of military background. And yet, I'm almost certain there are gun nuts who hear the words "stoner" or "buds" and perk up, and not because of Mr. Eugene or the Navy SEAL's entrance program. However, I have never met a gun lover that was a regular user of cannabis.

Now I'm not saying I partake in or condone the smoking of cannabis, as it is illegal in most states, but what about those avid shooters in states like Oregon, Colorado, Alaska, where it's legal? Do they smoke? Obviously, no one should be smoking when handling or shooting firearms, but what about in general?

I can see why some people would keep to themselves about that sort of thing though, especially if you're known for owning and having a strong affection for firearms. No one is comfortable around the alcoholic with 17 guns (unless he's your grandpa or uncle), just like I imagine most people wouldn't be comfortable around the pothead with the same amount of guns.

Maybe it's just a sheer conflict of interest. Most stoners I've met had no interest or experience with firearms while most hunters I've met would never consider smoking anything but Marlboro Reds.
Anyway, what are y'all's thoughts?
