It is illegal to drive a car while drunk. It is not illegal to carry your gun while drunk. Squinch Jan 2013 #32

There are laws in just about every state nick of time Jan 2013 #33

Nope. 4 states have laws that explicity state that guns are allowed to be carried in bars. 20 more Squinch Jan 2013 #35

Carried in bars, not drinking. nick of time Jan 2013 #36

They allow you to drink while carrying in a bar? nick of time Jan 2013 #38

so it would be safe to assume then you would not be drunk when defending yourself... Evasporque Jan 2013 #28

That's a very safe assumption. nick of time Jan 2013 #29

Sherriffs telling people to defend themselves till police arrive results in drunk people Squinch Jan 2013 #21

No. nick of time Jan 2013 #24

So I guess our current gun laws are not effectively distinguishing people who are responsible Squinch Jan 2013 #25

ding ding ding....winnnaaahhh! (To Squinch post above) Evasporque Jan 2013 #27

None of our laws can really distinguish who is responsible and who is irresponsible Bonduel Jan 2013 #47
