Arrested for having a gun in his home while intoxicated
« on: August 02, 2010, 12:10:59 PM »
I saw this while going through the news at lunch today.  Any opinions on this?   I dont think anyone should handle a gun while intoxicated, but in his own home?  really?

What if you had your guns put away while drinking and then you heard someone breaking in?  Are you supposed to not defend yourself against someone who is threatening your life in your own house because you've been drinking?  I don't know about you all, but my life is just as important to me when I've been drinking as it is any other time.

If it were me I'd have my guns locked away but easily accessible (one of those quick access safes or something).

Didn't you know you are supposed to lock yourself in the gun safe, while carrying a firearm and drinking at home!

Stupid!

I agree.  While i dont think he needed to be handling the weapon, as a personal opinion - He's in his house....  HIS HOUSE!    i dont think anyone has the right to bust his balls for handling his weapon in HIS house.    Just bugs the hell out of me.

This may have have something to do with it:
