This is why I dont do it You can be on Nyquil and be considered intoxicated. Basicly if you on any substance that affects your judgement blah blah blah etc. etc., dont get caught with a firearm. Not a good idea to operate a motor vehicle either while under the "influence" either.


It's up to the OP's son to decide if he wants to take that chance or not. Hopefully takes my advice, if alcohol is around, the guns need to be put away ( at home, in a safe, whatever, but not on or near your person ).

It probably wouldnt be a good idea to have a gun anywhere near him if he's pulled over, it will just make the situation much worse. It's a good idea to make it a rule that no firearms are to be around when alcohol is around. If I go to a bar, which is very very rare, the gun stays at home even if I dont drink ( which I also rarely do ). If your pulled over coming out of a bar, with a firearm even if you didnt drink a drop of alcohol it could possibly make the situation tence. So it's just best that the firearm stays at home.


Many many many people stop after work to grab a few beers. There is nothing at all wrong with that as long as your not intoxicated when you leave. I dont think I'd be so quick to pass judgement when ya dont know the whole story..
