[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3092622, member: 9374"] I've often thought this was a bit of a stickier point... I mean, does carrying your firearm out to dinner with your family mean you can't have a glass of beer with your pizza or burger? IANAL, but the main problem I can see with even small amounts of alcohol consumption is that you would be automatically vilified and destroyed by the media and the D.A. the very second they heard you had consumed so much as a [B]drop[/B] of alcohol, even low-point beer, in addition to how they could spin it in court to suggest your judgement was impaired and you shot someone without justification. I don't think I've ever seen it come out as a concern in a legitimate self-defense/home invasion shooting, but I find that to be a much less slippery slope, as you can't expect someone to be either completely sober 100% of the time in their own home, nor do they give up their right to self-defense in their own home. At least that's how I [B]personally [/B]see it. [/QUOTE]
