But, just for argument, isn’t medical privacy a right of an individual and not to state scrutiny in 2nd Amendment matters?? We could argue the validity of what is considered a prescription drug. And the validity of what entity (government or medical)has final say of the validity of prescription designation?
I’m just curious if on the form for the CCW permit there is required reporting of prescription medication or medical conditions and where opening medical records is required for 2nd Amendment protections?

Also, in every state in the union, alcohol and cigarettes are controlled substances.

Nope!

There's an enumerated power somewhere that grants them unlimited authority to say what is and isn't a drug and what rights you do and don't have as soon as you ingest one.

In Iowa, you are required to list what prescriptions you are taking. Prior to becoming a “Shall issue” state, many permits had conditions that invalidated the permit if taking prescription pain killers or drinking.

The current law is a bit hazy on the subject, but just about all lawyers I have spoken to about CCW say that if you are on a medication that can have a mood altering effect, don't carry. If the criminal case won't hurt you, the civil case will.
