I must have misread this part of your original post.

I did think about it. In your own home you're not concerned with a Leo catching you carrying while intoxicated. Thus, no need to go lock up
your gun in a glove box. Hopefully you won't drive, and just pass out in bed instead.
We obviously have different views on alcohol consumption and impairment. I'll let it go at that.

Re: An Alcoholic Drink While Carrying

Wes, not trying to pick a fight....but....if you lock up your gun in the glove box....do you
then give the car/truck keys to someone else? A drunk driver is a deadly driver. If you "feel it (alcohol)" and you realize you need to NOT be carrying a sidearm..... wouldn't it make sense to not crawl behind the wheel of a car/truck?
I'm not accusing you of driving impaired, but putting up a gun to then resume drinking or immediately get behind the wheel. Let's think about this.
