I'm a Gun Owner But....

or " I think everyone else is as negligent as I am so....."

Guns shouldn't be allowed in 'places that serve alcohol'. That's according to former aide to gun grabber Jimme Cahtah, Sam Edwards.

Why does he think this? Because he got sh!t-faced drunk, loaded a handgun, and fired it in a negligent discharge.

At home.

Nevermind that his experience has nothing to do with carrying in public or in places that serve alcohol. Nor the ignored fact that drinking in said establishments while carrying is against the law.

He states he does not know " the arguments that were made to rationalize this idiocy", but "a moderately intelligent first grader can tell you why this is dumb..."

So, although he is (by his own admission) negligent with firearms and ignorant of the facts, we should consider his opinion relevant why?

No wonder Jimmy was a one termer.

As the saying goes, if anti-rights advocates actually understood logic or reason, they probably would not be so against rights.

Gotta love the textbook examples of projection that these folks provide us on a nearly daily basis...

Same in NC, no guns anywhere that serves alcohol.

Legal BAC while carrying? 0.00

Insane.

Yep, and the legal BAC for driving is 0.08%.

A 230 grain .45 ACP bullet, at 850 feet per second, has a kinetic energy of 369 foot pounds.

A 3000 lb. car, at 60 mph, has a kinetic energy of over 361,000 foot pounds--and has a lot more range than a .45 ACP bullet, and a car is actually being used by the driver, while prohibitions on firearms and alcohol apply to merely carrying the gun while drinking (or even simply in the presence of alcohol).

Yeah--that makes sense.

I think we're in complete agreement but my post wasn't that clear.

To clarify, the no guns near alcohol rule is insane given the fact that I can't drink any while carrying.

Doubling up on laws because they "sound reasonable" is a great way to whittle away at rights.

Yeah--I'm in complete agreement with you, Jinksto. It occurred to me after I posted the comment that I might have appeared to have been arguing with you--my fault for not being more clear.
