Get used to having people walk around with AR-15 s with a monster magazine? Get used to someone sitting in a bar with a loaded shotgun while he drinks himself silly? Get used to taking your children to public places where some moron intent on flaunting his second amendment rights parades around with maximum firepower?
No, I don't think I want to get used to that
Sitting at a bar with a loaded shotgun?
You know little of liquor laws, do you.
In most states, even Alabama, an open carry state, it is illegal to have a firearm in a bar. In New Mexico, another open carry state, it is a mandatory 1 year for entering any establishment that sells alcoholic beverages while armed. This includes a 7/11 that sells beer.
Here in Alabama, as Permittee, I am the only person that may be armed in Doc Holliday's The second I take a drink I must disarm. Seeing I don't drink....
In Virginia it is legal to open carry into a bar and drink. But if you get drunk then you are subject to arrest as drunken carry is illegal.
That is totally rational, IMO.
IF I go with friends into a bar and don't get smashed, why would that be irresponsible?
When I was a kid, the adults would go hunting and carry beer with them and get drunk and all carrying loaded shot guns with them. Hell, I thought hunting was just an excuse to get away from the women and get smashed.
But really, if I have two beers, I can still handle my gun responsibly, so why criminalize it?
I bet you can drive home too, right? No doubt as "responsibly" as you post here...
