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

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
