Yes, alcohol *may* affect your judgement (and aim), but merely carrying a gun while intoxicated should NOT be a crime.
Further, you do not lose your right to self-defense when under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or even potentially mind-altering Rx medications. It's absolutely possible to still have a situation where one's life it truly at risk, and if one uses force to defend themselves appropriately, that should not automatically be canceled out because of the presence of some chemical in one's system.
Again, not recommending it, but criminalizing it is an absolute no-go for me. There are plenty of laws already regulating "bad behavior" that apply whether either guns or alcohol in included in a given scenario. How about just enforcing those?

I have to agree. It's just another attempt at controling what you do. Just erroding your rights Bill

Get fucked. Maybe they should restrict other fundamental rights when you have a beer too.
Re: Belaboring the obvious HB 2793
What they should do is outlaw driving while intoxicated. That would save a lot of lives.
Re: Belaboring the obvious HB 2793
I will still carry when drinking. You cant take someones rights away from them because they drink
a legal beverage.

I didn't read the bill, but I'll bet the penalty is a prohibitor.
