“ Ohio Supreme Court To Decide Whether Gun Owners Can Drink At Home

So, if there is to be war, go first for the prosecutors.
A real club trumps a bogus legal club
I know a Marine who owns a gun shop/shooting range in Ohio who’d piss himself laughing at this idea.
As would I.
They’re going on the presumption that all gun owners are morons, and should have their rights removed like flicking a switch.
It’s not really enforceable, though it may have saved Terry Kath’s life. :)
It’s time we start going after those individual prohibition laws and that should include smoking. Which supporters of alcohol prohibition will be using to promote their cause.
The word “supreme” went to their heads. They should just declare that this is NOT a matter for the courts, or for the state at all and drop the matter entirely.
Whatever happened to stay out of my bedroom?
Can we bring back anti-sodomy laws again now?
Didn’t our Founding Fathers meet in pubs, drink the swill and plan the departure from old England?
So if they come to your house, find you intoxicated, find your car keys on your kitchen table, then do you also lose your driving privileges? After all, you could, in your intoxicated condition, decide to get in your car and get involved in an accident that kills someone.
Now mind you, the Constitution grants you the right to own a gun—without any reference to whether you are sober or intoxicated. The Constitution says nothing about who can drive.
In England they are arguing about Kitchen Knives in ethnically English homes... as of yet no one has introduced the idea of banning household knives because of occupant drinking. Of course we the problem is Muslim’s knifing people outside their homes.
Where in the Constitution does it say “... the right to keep and bear arms, but only while sober...”
How about meth or other illegal drugs? How about cough medicine? How about tripping hazards as your walking around with the gun? Maybe pass a law against carrying it while sneezing or hiccuping or laughing because you might drop it causing it to go off or one in a billion chance of pulling the trigger during a sneeze.
An incorrect ruling here would create two classes of people under the law. Muslims and Mormons vs. just about everybody else.
Well since they’ve outlawed homeowners the right to shoot rats in their basement it’s no surprise. Will that also apply to street gangs? Oh, maybe not since they’re unable to control them.
Whatever they decide doesn’t matter.
It’s still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
prohibiting gun owners from carrying firearms while intoxicated should be applied inside a gun owner’s home.
= = =
Next we will hear that just the possession and handling of firearms intoxicates the owner (with power).
And that intoxication is illegal.
That is untrue.
On balance, it was probably unwise and repeal was, on balance, in the public interest.
But it was sold as a public health and safety measure, and on those grounds, both in terms of hospital admissions for alcohol poisoning and liver disease, as well as domestic violence incidents, prohibition was a great success.
