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

states do not address the question, making it allowable since no law forbids the practice.

I think everyone can read that she took it as it is okay for her to have a weapon and use it...	Evasporque	Jan 2013	#15

Did the sheriff say it was not okay while intoxicated?	LiberalFighter	Jan 2013	#55
Clearly its what this responsible gun owner heard.	Squinch	Jan 2013	#8
Obviously she wasn't a "responsible gun owner" now was she?	nick of time	Jan 2013	#10
That's fabulous! Imagine if she HAD shot someone. Then it would be even keener to know	Squinch	Jan 2013	#13
What right to shoot off a gun on a public street while drunk?	nick of time	Jan 2013	#14
What law do we have that would prevent her from doing what she did?	Squinch	Jan 2013	#16
What laws actually prevent people from breaking them?	hack89	Jan 2013	#31
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
Maine, Virginia, Minnesota....	Squinch	Jan 2013	#37
They allow you to drink while carrying in a bar?	nick of time	Jan 2013	#38
Yep. Utah too, it seems.	Squinch	Jan 2013	#40
Sorry but you're wrong.	nick of time	Jan 2013	#41
You can drink while carrying a gun in those states, and presumably others.	Squinch	Jan 2013	#42
You can have a certain BAL and still drive a car,	nick of time	Jan 2013	#44
You can't drink while driving a car. You can't have an open container, and you can't drink.	Squinch	Jan 2013	#45
Ok, I see what you're getting at.	nick of time	Jan 2013	#46
You would be wrong about that	hack89	Jan 2013	#34

have you been drinking?....nt	Evasporque	Jan 2013	#20
Haven't had a drink in over 30 years.	nick of time	Jan 2013	#22
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
