isn't this discussion why "shall not be infringed" is infringed more and more? We all say that we need to go by the Constitution but then we argue about whether it is ok to revoke or suspend it for breaking a State statute...sounds like it's ok as long as it doesn't interfere with personal beliefs.

..."Shall not be infringed" says it all...
Drug or alcohol use should not disqualify someone from owning a firearm...it has NEVER(to my knowledge) disqualified someone from owning a vehicle, so why a firearm?
Think about "Shall not be infringed" and then try to logically come up with your justifiable reasons to infringe.

+ 1 .08 or what ever it is now isn't much. when the limit was .12 you wad a pretty good idea you were impared if you didn't know you were. at .08 you could know you are fine and then find out you are wrong.
Except that this discussion applies to the LTCH and the LTCH is a state permit. You're talking about a much broader issue, which can obviously be discussed at great length.
My opinion is that people with a LTCH should be squeaky clean. Getting a LTCH should be akin to getting a "good honest upstanding citizen award" from our state. Having that little pink card should be a symbol to others that you are a good guy.
I think it is simple. There are two kinds of Americans:
1. Citizens.
2. Inmates.
The first cannot be infringed.
The second can, for the duration of his punishment.
The second, when done with his punishment becomes one of the first again.
It is just that simple.
Don't want them to be citizens, don't let them out from being inmates.
If they have served their time as inmates and are done (including parole), then they are citizens once again.
Otherwise all you do is dilute the essence and power of what "citizen" means to the point that no one understands it anymore...
I'm sure that the impaired level was never .12, it was .10 before being lowered to .08.
i stand corrected. i wasn't 100% sure what it usto be when typing. imo .08 is to low
Far to many people think OWI or DUI is all about alcohol. OWI is enforceable for alcohol,as well as ANY drug including marijuana. A driver smoking marijuana is harder for most officers to detect so many skate by. A stoned driver is just as guility of OWI than a drunk one. Remember the elements of the OWI crime-1) Impaired 2) in control of ANY covance used for land,air or water. IE-Horse,bicycle,moped,riding mower,boat,airplane or just about anything else to move you. SOmething worth noting IMO.
They nice ladies in the firearms licensing department have informed me of their policy on denying permits in relation to drug and alcohol charges.
They will allow (misdemeanors or lesser charges, of course);
no more than one alcohol related charge
no more than one drug related charge
two of either will give you a possible five year D.Q.
one of each apparently does not affect you.
Now I'm sure that this is just a gray line. Id put my money on them saying no to someone who has a meth charge.
