Keith B wrote:If your friend was imparired by his drinking, then he was illegally carrying. Personnally, I may have one beer with a meal while carrying, but that is the limit for me, and that is a rare instance. And that will depend on my personal condition at the time of the consumption. If a person is tired or not feeling up to par, even one beer can potentially impair them and cause them to be illegally carrying.
I'm in your court on this one, Keith. My wife and I went to dinner last Friday, and I ordered a spicy dish. It just begged for an ice cold beer to wash it down. So, yes, I committed what is to many a cardinal sin, and enjoyed said cold beer with my spicy shrimp creole. And yes, I did this horrible thing with a Glock concealed on my hip.
I have now donned my flame retardant clothing, and am bracing myself for the chastising, criticizing, and flat out abuse that I fully expect to be thrown this way.
