the truly uptight fellas or gals that basically slam the gavel of judgement for someone having some beers with friends or whatever baffle me. This wasn't a "should I have a few beers or not" topic. The question was basically what are the legal issues I could face if I was slightly inebriated as a passenger with my weapon in the glovebox. Some answered to the best of their knowledge, some didn't. I feel like I am QUITE responsible for when I do have something to drink the gun immediately goes into the vehicle and doesn't stay on my person.

I applaud those that have never had a sip of alcohol with a gun nearby. You're my hero if that's the case. But how about getting off your high horse and offer some practical knowledge to the conversation instead of turning your nose up at the notion that consenting adults have the right to have some beers and get loud once in a while.

I'm not a newb around here but I never post so I am a new guy in that aspect and I'm sure I'll have little to no backup here in this response. Either way I'll still frequent this joint and learn what I can and I'll continue laugh at some of the over the top responses that some questions get.

Hope y'all have a good day

Hey, I also don't want to give off the impression that I'm some sort of babbling drunk either. Haha, I'm not talking about 10 or 12 beers. Hell, I rarely have more than a couple beers during an entire week. I'm just talking over the legal limit.

Very interesting answers ladies and gents. The most obvious thing that came from this is that there is no cut and dry answer therefore the smart thing to do is put it in a lockbox or leave it at home.

I've run through this scenario several times and don't know where to find the answer at all so please excuse the ignorance.

I carry every day, everywhere. Suppose my wife and I are at a friend's house and decide I want to have several drinks. My wife doesn't drink so when we leave she would naturally get the keys and drive the twenty minutes or so back home. I have my gun in the glove box in front of me. Let's say she gets pulled over for speeding or a brake light out or whatever. What does the law say about me having my gun in the glove box as a passenger while I'm inebriated?
