[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3252029, member: 7900"] I'm not sure "Deterent" is really effective. We have a friend that is an attorney specializing in defending DUI folks. He told me of a case of a young man that had been convicted once of a misdemeanor DUI and was arrested again for DUI. (For your information, DA's can charge a second DUI after a conviction as a felony instead of a misdemeanor.) This young man asked our friend, why should I worry so much about it being a felony instead of a misdemeanor? When it was explained that if he was convicted of the felony, he would lose his ability to own firearms. The young man very quickly decided to agree with doing a plea deal for another misdemeanor. I also know of a couple of people, one of whom was a beautiful young girl, that have been horrendously injured by DUI drivers, and those people have to live the rest of their lives as disabled. The young girl in mind had the possibility of being an excellent athlete. Personally, I can't agree with giving lenient sentences with DUI offenders. [/QUOTE]
