Three of those people drink a few beers while playing trivia. The other three get sodas and food, but do not drink any alcohol. There is absolutely no reason that those not drinking should not be allowed to carry. I would prefer that they do so, as I am one of the ones drinking, so I can't carry myself.

Theres no reason why the people that ARE drinking shouldn't carry unless they intend to become intoxicated. People should not drink at all if they feel it affects their judgement to such a degree that they should be disarmed.

there needs to be a standard for blood alcohol level and legal carry of about 1/2 the legal limit to drive
.04 is the legal limit for handling a commercial ship maybe it should be the same for carry

I like Nevada rules.... <0.10 to carry, <0.08 to drive. It's a lot easier to "not shoot a handgun" when drunk, than to drive a car safely...

Im fairly positive the state fair is still LTC friendly. Ive carried there every time ive went.

The Fair used to post 51% (late 90's) and exclude CHL's. However, since 46.035 only prohibits carrying on the "PREMISES" of a 51% location...this would only make any buildings, structures, that have a 51% license of limits. The rest of the Fair would be OK. Now let's see of they try to get Fair Park designated as an Amusement Park, like the Dallas Zoo. In my opinion, the Fair rides aren't open enough of the year to qualify, but the park itself is. For the last 10 years or so the Fair has been letting people with LTC in armed.

Many states don't have a law against drinking and carrying or carrying in bars. Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Vermont come to mind. The haven't seemed to have any problem. Nevada has a law against carrying while intoxicated (like Texas), but they left the BAC limit at 0.10 for carrying. Like so many other things re: guns people draw conclusions based on movies and TV shows...
