It is almost always a crime to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance. Many states also prohibit people from carrying a firearm into establishments that serve liquor (such as bars and nightclubs), even with a concealed carry permit, and even if you are not drinking.
The laws that apply to you depend on the state in which you live. To learn more about the gun laws in your state, see Gun Control Laws, and click the link to your state under the section entitled “Gun Laws by State”.
But I have a concealed carry permit. May I carry my weapon while intoxicated?

Having a concealed carry permit does not give you free reign to carry your weapon at any time or under every circumstance that you wish. Most permits come with a set of places or circumstances where you may not carry your gun, and one circumstance is usually while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This is the case in Tennessee, where as a concealed carry permit holder, you may have your license suspended for up to three years (in addition to fines and possible jail time) for drinking in an establishment that sells liquor while in possession of your firearm.

I looked it up.

It is illegal to carry in a bar in Washington state, but I see no mention of it being illegal to carry while drunk.

Are guns taken from those found to be armed while drunk? Of course not

Our NRA will fight to the death for the rights of armed drunks

So are you proposing that no one but the police and this corporate "gubermint" be allowed to have a firearm? Do you believe that people should have to "register" their guns with this corporate "gubermint? Do you know what "register" means in Black's Law dictionary?

This guy's problem started well before he was drunk. His gun was NOT properly secured in a holster. And I'm not sure what gun he had that would fire just because it was dropped.

 

[OldLady]

If only she'd had a gun too.

Or maybe just make sure there are armed ushers. And those kids selling candy and soda and "popcorn"? They should be armed.

That way, at the first sound of gun shot, they can rush into the dark theater and mow them down.

What could possible go wrong?

Agree

Problem is there were not enough guns in that theater to respond after the first shot was fired

It was an accident. Returning fire would be stupid as hell.

I believe they were being sarcastic.

Not only register your gun but receive training on how and when to use it and be licensed to have one

Help keep assholes like the guy in the theater from packing

Hey, no mass shooter showed up to start killing people with an assault rifle. Why? Probably because this 'good guy with a gun' was there to ward off the mass shooter.

He's a goddamn hero, saving the lives of everyone in that theater! The woman was just collateral damage.

They were being sarcastic at me and mine. I was being sarcastic back by taking them at their literal word.

HIs point was stupid and I pointed that out.

It's kind of a stupid law, from the view of preventing gun crime. How many drunks make good choices? Oh, gee, I guess I'll leave the gun home since I'm already plastered. Not gonna happen.

There is no limit on stupidity, especially when it comes to people who carry guns when going to a movie, the market or answering their door bell.

I want gun owners to be responsible and have the proper training and skills to properly use a gun. Should be no problem for a responsible gun owner

There is no limit on stupidity. Especially when it comes to all sorts of things. People driving cars, people taking illegal drugs, people riding motorcycles without helmets, people walking and texting.

People get hurt and killed in all kinds of sad stupid ways.
