It's a great point--we don't allow people to drink and drive, why should they be allowed msanthrope Aug 2013 #5
Who's allowing people to drink and carry concealed? (It *is* still illegal, btw..) X_Digger Aug 2013 #20
The Illinois law thecrow Aug 2013 #27
The other half of that is that it doesn't allow *carrying* while drinking. X_Digger Aug 2013 #28
If it's concealed, who the hell would know? AlinPA Aug 2013 #74
Without pulling a driver over, how do you know he has a license? X_Digger Aug 2013 #84
Why bother with your chart and the last sentence? My question has nothing to do with that. AlinPA Aug 2013 #86
No, it's perfectly relevant. X_Digger Aug 2013 #87

I'm not proposing anything. My point is how the hell would you know if someone has a gun if it AlinPA Aug 2013 #89
The same way you 'know' if someone driving down the road has a license.. X_Digger Aug 2013 #97
Prevalent convictions...frequency..? Try this: 10 people drinking in a bar. One of them is hiding a AlinPA Aug 2013 #98
Easy, The criminal! Bazinga Aug 2013 #100
Can't see what conviction numbers have to do with it it. Maybe frisking everyone at the bar? AlinPA Aug 2013 #102
Or how about not encouraging a culture of reckless gun toting? ellisonz Aug 2013 #146
I like the Texas approach to this problem oneshooter Aug 2013 #147
Did you read the OP article? ellisonz Aug 2013 #150
What about an olive garden, or a Texas roadhouse? Bazinga Aug 2013 #160
Is there some rule that says one cannot become intoxicated at the Olive Garden while gun toting? n/t ellisonz Aug 2013 #161
Yes there is. It is against the law. Bazinga Aug 2013 #162
So clearly then we should set an arbitrary limit on where one can tote where alcohol is served? ellisonz Aug 2013 #163
Why is no guns while intoxicated not enough? Bazinga Aug 2013 #164
"Why do I have to compromise my safety because of someone else's beverage choice?" ellisonz Aug 2013 #165
Absolutely right. Bazinga Aug 2013 #166
The Second Amendment does not afford a right to carry whatever gun, whenever, wherever you please. ellisonz Aug 2013 #167
Please define threatened. Bazinga Aug 2013 #168
Tough shit. ellisonz Aug 2013 #169
Well then I'll side with the Democrats, Bazinga Aug 2013 #170
That doesn't mean what you think it does. ellisonz Aug 2013 #171
Fair enough. Bazinga Aug 2013 #172
We don't disagree. One of us is giving the interpretation of the Constitution as declared by SCOTUS. ellisonz Aug 2013 #173
What was hypothetical about my argument? Bazinga Aug 2013 #175
You didn't address my post at all. ellisonz Aug 2013 #178
Nor you mine. Bazinga Aug 2013 #181

It allows you to CC, as long as the owner doesn't ban firearms, tumtum Aug 2013 #30
It depends on whether IL concealed carry allows drinking while carrying rl6214 Aug 2013 #73
Its a social more that a restaurant is expected to cut a drunk off at a certain point and encourage Erose999 Aug 2013 #54
And that is the law in states that allow concealed carry in restaurants. X_Digger Aug 2013 #55
there are plenty of other places for gun humpers to go Skittles Aug 2013 #77

"It is illegal to drink and drive, and it should be illegal to drink and carry a gun." Jim__ Aug 2013 #9
It is illegal to be drunk and to drive. In many states it is illegal to be drunk and to carry a gun. hack89 Aug 2013 #11
You are incorrect. blueamy66 Aug 2013 #139
No, and it would still be illegal to do so in IL after this change. n/t X_Digger Aug 2013 #21
Only a total gun crazy would disagree, lark Aug 2013 #39
Thanks for acknowledging I am not a "total gun crazy." Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #135
As a gun owner and restaurant worker, this guy makes a very clear and to me obvious point: marble falls Aug 2013 #10
In many states it is a crime to use a gun while intoxicated. hack89 Aug 2013 #12
I agree totaly. I'd go a step further: being arrested drunk with a firearm should lose one's right.. marble falls Aug 2013 #15
Just like a drunk driver should permanently lose their license. nt hack89 Aug 2013 #18
A person with more than two or three DUIs should lose his license at least until the drinking stops. marble falls Aug 2013 #24
No. One DUI is all that is necessary to kill an innocent person hack89 Aug 2013 #32
I'll drink to that. marble falls Aug 2013 #35
You generally do Lee-Lee Aug 2013 #92
Thanks for a common sense approach. Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #132
I wonder how many customers leave his place just under the legal limit but still impaired? hack89 Aug 2013 #13
Am I the 'he' of which you speak? I cut my customers off at two drinks in one hour and keep.... marble falls Aug 2013 #136
never thought about this mgardener Aug 2013 #14
Are you saying that your state does not alread have that law? ManiacJoe Aug 2013 #80
Alcohol and guns are a toxic mix obama2terms Aug 2013 #17
They have allowed guns in bars here in Tenn. for over 4 years Go Vols Aug 2013 #56

Yep,not in a bar Go Vols Aug 2013 #61
And nothing about concealed carry, either. X_Digger Aug 2013 #64
Harry Ray Coleman held a concealed carry permit. Robb Aug 2013 #66
