Agreed... we already have laws for all of this. Drunk in public is already a crime, with or without a firearm. Waving a gun around is already covered under Disorderly Conduct, intoxicated or otherwise. These are both Class C Misdemeanors.

Unless this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance can show me a plethora of cases where drunks were OCing long guns in public and that this law is sorely needed to stem that tide, then not just no but heck no.
