Your thoughts and mine line up about 95% when it comes to drinking / alcohol / drinking. I have allowed myself A drink while carrying a few different times. But that's it because A) I really don't drink nor like the taste of most of it, and B) too many "what ifs" should I happen to need to use my firearm in S.D. And, lastly, thanks for the rep!
could use you over in the Denny's not so great thread...i've posted what i believe to be true from what i've gathered, it'd be cool to have your insight on the situation as well
