Re: 0.00 BAC?
I am not looking at this thread as a drinking while carrying.
I question where these guys who give all these classes get their training. What accreditation they carry. What solstice they follow.
Or can anyone put together a class and charge you to share their opinions?troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: 0.00 BAC?
A story that "turned me" on gun ownership/carry was told by a devastated Texas woman who carried regularly. She took her parents out to dinner one night but left her handgun in the car thinking: "This is a nice place, I'm not going to need it here."
Midway through their meal, a man with a gun entered and started shooting. The woman knocked their table over and pulled her parents to the floor as she reached for her (non-existent) gun.
At this point they were sitting ducks. As the man made his way thru the dining room, her father tried to jump him from behind and was shot and killed. Gunman then started moving away from their table to another room.
The woman saw an emergency exit and told her mother that when the gunman was out of sight, they were going to run to the emergency exit and keep running.
When he left the room, she bolted...but when she got outside she was alone. Her mother ran to her husband who was already dead. She was shot and killed.
She lost her mother and father that day. Who knows how it would've played out if she had made a different decision before entering the restaurant. A glass of wine may have impaired her judgement/abilities. But I'd still rather be armed than unarmed in that situation.
Listening to that woman tell her story changed my life and I think of it often as I train and when I need to make similar decisions.
And that is why I asked the original question here.

You're thinking of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby%27s_massacre
The earliest one that I remember is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Ysi...d%27s_massacreLast edited by streaker69; August 13th, 2012 at 09:13 AM.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: 0.00 BAC?
Yep...that's the one Streaker. How can an "anti-" read that...or better...hear it in Suzanna Hupp's own words...and not be changed? Horrible, horrible proof that the police can only be there for the aftermath.

Re: 0.00 BAC?
In my State, it is illegal to use a firearm while under the influence of alcohol, but at the same time, anyone who blows 0.05 or less must legally be presumed not to be under the influence of alcohol.
But, that's just my state.
