I started to enter this thread but figured you guys could handle it, and I figured correctly.

The premise of the whole line of thought is ridiculous. If you can't be trusted to be responsible with a gun after a few drinks, then you probably shouldn't have one when you're sober either.
I don't care what you do in your home as long as it stays in your home and doesn't result in the injury or abuse of an innocent person.
The first sentence was too absurd to respond to.

Re: Quick question regarding alcohol
At the very least, there are two definitions of intoxicated....and a whole bunch of descriptions.jbarn wrote:A common misunderstanding. I did not write that .08% is not intoxicated. I wrote that .08% is not a limit. If you look carefully, I wrote that a person can be intoxicated without being .08% BAC. a person at below .08 can be intoxicated. What 08% is, is a presumed level of intoxication. It is not a limit. If it were a limit, a person under that could not be intoxicated, and we all know that isn't true.gringo pistolero wrote:Yes it is. Anyone "having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more" is intoxicated in Texas whether or not they show it.jbarn wrote:.08% is not a limit
