If you have read some of my posts I have very little tolerance for signs. I do not violate signs that meet the letter of the law. I will walk past ones that are a lame attempt and scare some CHLrs.

Now that the traveling/car carry issue has been resolved (Anygun looks around to make sure), I would like our legiscritters to fix the issue where governments blatantly violate the intent of 30.06. If a law states "SO and SO can not do this" then by golly there better be penalties involved and legal recourse for us to pursue if "SO and SO" does it and some of their enforcers take action.

School must be defined, and college is not school.

Elementary school. Sounds like the words fit.
Middle school. Yup. That fits.
High school. Definitely fits.
University school. Nope.
College school. Nuhuh.

If the building has "school" in the title, that does not mean it is always a school. If a school district leases the place to some bonafide church it is a church and if they say bring your guns, so much the better.

And if I want to go to a fight and watch a hockey game break out whiole packing I should be allowed to do so. After all, they got sticks.

Why should any school teacher be denied the right to defend themselves. Are teachers by law concidered a`lower form of human because their charges are younger,
Seems strange to me we can trust teachers with our chldrens minds, but we can't trust them with a gun.

I have never thought that maintaining proper behavior and judgement after having one beer is a matter of "holding one's liquor." I never feel the need to "hold my liquor." I tend to associate that term with people who have multiple drinks at a sitting.

The way I look at it, I'm the same nice, peaceful, law-abiding guy after drinking a beer than I was before. And I have the same legal and moral right to defend myself against criminal attack and/or the unlawful use (or attemp of use) of force against me.

For those rare individuals who have an abnormal response to alcohol such that their judgement goes out the window after one beer, I would say that they should avoid alcohol period, whether they are carrying or not.

For the rest of us, I think the current legal standards for intoxication and/or impaired judgement are reasonable.

So to me, guns and a beer go together like a beer and a steak.

I would just like to see the law apply to LEO's just as it does to CHL's. Right now, it's legal for LEO's to drink themselves drunk while carrying. I think this is wrong and should be changed.
