A lot of shootings take place at fast food shops and at the Waffle House after 10 PM. I always sit facing the door.

Michigan has a 0.0 Blood Alcohol Level requirement for concealed carry.

If I want a beer with dinner at a restaurant, I have to lock up my pistol in my car.

For many years, I was a lease warden on a 9,000 acre hunting lease. I can tell you that while in our state of sobriety we may all agree that guns and alcohol don’t mix. But, that doesn’t mean that some beer guzzling idiot siting around a campfire with his peers won’t suddenly pick up his gun and announce “Hold ma beer n’ watch this!” I’ve seen people in this scenario accidentally shot on TWO different occasions, and several near misses where alcohol was concerned.

I don’t like the gun-grabbers using this as a tool, but if they dig deep enough, they could make this an effective one.

I think much of this depends on the state.

Alabama is very gun-friendly, or I should say self-defense friendly.

As usual, the majority of these shootings are in strip clubs and the like. I have never been in a restaurant in my life, and at my age, that is a bunch, where people pulled out guns and started shootings. I don't go to strip and drunk hang outs. It is proven you can drink booze cheaper at home than in an over priced strip club. I watch a show on TV called the First 48, about murders and the cop investigations.

Sadly, the great, grand, majority of these events (on the First 48 show, and in most of real life) are by blacks against other blacks, either in the strip clubs, drug events, getting into it with someone over "turf." Blacks murder far, far, far more of their kind than whites, browns, yellows or reds kill them. These murders are by people WITHOUT carry permits.

Last week I watched a program on one of the Discovery channels regarding illegally manufactured firearms. These are made in countries like the Philippines, with false serial numbers and sold in the USA. They are sent in on shipping containers. These guns are made by Tom, Dick or Harry out in the jungles, sold to a guy in town who puts the finish on the gun, and he then sells them. The maker in the jungle sold them for like $150 to the finisher guy, who sells them to the transporters for $300 and the weapons are sold in the US west coast for like $6-800 and on the east coast of the USA for over $1,000. These guns are not purchased by honest, legal gun owners. They are purchased by crooks, drug dealers, etc. That programs showed the thugs needing the guns to do "hits" on someone and the actual selling of a gun to a guy, who then went out and murdered a man, and tossed the gun into the river. Spent like $800 for his murder, the cost of the gun.

They will un-arm honest, law a biding citizens and the criminals will still be heavily armed buns. This is what we face folks.

From my time in, I don’t think there is ANY amount of alcohol that would be enough “to incapacitate the Coast Guard.”
