Changing the situation you describe will still not sway the majority of regular posters to all of a sudden endorse being drunk and carrying.

After having done wetlabs in some advanced DWI schooling, I can tell
You that the average person at a .08 BAC is pretty messed up.

I do agree with you and everyone else who posted. Just was curious on the law aspect of it. The camps PD came out yesterday and said the armed robbery of apartments rumor was untrue, but the fact that 20+ Cars had been broken into in my gated community still remains. Thanks for the comments guys

You say you are at "your buddy's house." How are you going to get home? Drive? Take a Cab so you are now "drunk" in public with a gun?

It's not worth the felony rap.

Okay I'll break it down more. I live in apartment complex where there have been 30+ break ins to cars since August (despite our fences/gates). Plus we live extremely close to a rather underprivileged portion of town. I'm in an off campus apartment complex to a University I attend. 99% of all my friends/teammates live in the same complex. I'm the biggest person against drinking and driving so I was just wondering. I have seen that other states have upholded the right to defend yourself despite your "intoxication".

Thanks for the response man.

Let's say I go to my buddy's house and go above the "intoxicated" limit of .08 at his house. Am I allowed to carry? He knows I carry and has said It's okay to have my gun on his property. If the answer is yes, does the whole intoxicated concept just apply to public areas? Thanks. Sorry if this is a stupid question, because yes there is such thing as a stupid question.
