I don't think I've ever heard of any CCW holder getting liquored up while carrying. or if they did they obviously never used their weapon.

If anything, just like being the DD for the night, carrying would make you accutely aware of how much you are drinking.

I personally won't go hunting with people who think it is neat to get liqured up and go blasting away at anything that moves.

Same deal here.

Show me some stats. How many of these guys openly carrying are committing ANY kind of crime. I'm willing to bet it is much lower than those carrying illegally or not carrying at all.

Bah... these nervous nellies saying "BUT WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE DO THAT" piss me off.

Exactly.

The law in Virginia is particularly onerous since it bans concealed carry in ANY place that serves alcohol. So if you want to eat somewhere other than McDonalds, you have two choices: 1) go unarmed, or 2) carry openly.

I, like the Patriots in this article, would choose #2 also.
