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.
It not a matter of trust, it's a matter of the law. :tiphat:
:iagree:
IANAL, but I would tend to disagree that the law is meant to prevent you from carrying in your own home and enjoying adult beverages. 99.9% of the time I am carrying openly in my own home, so I wouldn't not even be carrying under the authority of my CHL.
I can't speak for WB, but I was commenting on the second sentence which seemed to be more big picture related than the first sentence.
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.
:iagree: In this case, I give you permission to speak for me. ;-)
I started to enter this thread but figured you guys could handle it, and I figured correctly. Good job, WB and jmra :thewave !

Yes it is. Anyone "having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more" is intoxicated in Texas whether or not they show it.
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.

There are two definitions of intoxicated.
At the very least, there are two definitions of intoxicated....and a whole bunch of descriptions. :cheers2:
