"Carrying" while drinking is not prohibited, but it is a criminal offense to carry while intoxicated.

This is what I have always understood, but this guy actually wrote on the dry erase board "0.0001 and the officer can take you down"

I hate to say it but, this guy had some other mistakes in the presentation as well.

I comment which had nothing to do with the class was "If I am in a reciprocating state like Az. I am not going to carry, they are open carry and I do not want to open carry, and I cannot legally carry concealed".

I tried to correct that statement, but decided it was better for the instructor and myself to just let it go.

No penal code section was given. However he pointed to a question on the written test (true or false) that basically states that there is no legal limit, the answer is ofcourse true, there ins'nt. Then he went on to explain that there was no legal limit due to the fact that no alcohol is allowed while you are carrying, and stated that you could be arrested, weapons confiscated, and permit suspended.

There has been allot of talk on here about drinking while carrying. I have just finished my renewal class and was told by the instructor that there is a new law that just went into effect that clearly defines the legal limit of 0.00 while a CHL is carrying.

Is this something that I have missed?
