I don't drink and drive. I don't drink and carry.
2) Do you think it's wrong to have a drink while carrying?
3) If "yes" to #2 above, do you think it's wrong when cops do it?
4) If "yes" to #2 and #3 above, do you have any plans to try to do anything about it? Have you ever written a letter to the editor about it? Have you ever called your state rep or senator and asked them to introduce or support a bill that would penalize cops for having a drink while carrying?
If not, why not?
5) If "yes" to #2 and "no" to #3, why would you think that cops are more responsible after having a drink, or 10 drinks for that matter, than CHL'ers? Could this be something that is covered at the academy?
6) Cops in general seem to be pretty responsible people who care about the community. They also seem concerned that people handle guns safely and responsibly at all times. So do you think they would support a total ban (i.e. one that included cops) on drinking while carrying?
Just wondering.
1. Yes I drink on occasion.
2. Wrong? Morally? No. Legally? It's very unclear. That's why I choose not to risk it.
3. N/A
4. N/A
5. N/A
6. Cops are not a homogenous group. I'm sure some would support a total ban and some wouldn't.
