Just because you or others don't control yourselves while drinking doesn't mean that I can't.
Drunkiness and guns are no better than driving while drunk. Anyone that thinks they are in control of their actions while drunk need to watch a video of themselves while drunk. Of course you don't need to have a video camera, the police will furnish that.
Hes lucky that the police were the ones called and not the coroner.
My step dad was arrested tonight for being drunk, and pointing his handgun at someone for no appropriate reason. To make a very very long story short he was drunk and fighting with everyone. The person he pointed the gun at had done nothing wrong. The police took their statement and arrested him.
I was not there to see all this happen, I was on the phone with my older brother who was there. We were talking when it happened and I told him call 911 immediately. I'm glad they arrested him but the deputy's didn't say exactly what he was being arrested for. I assume drunk and disorderly conduct, Pointing a loaded firearm at someone, and being in possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
Hopefully they charge him with all three and take his LTCH. This happened in Owen County so we'll see how well our sheriffs dept works on this case. I know pointing the gun is a class D felony. Anyone have a clue about the degree of charge for being in possession while under the influence?
Is that the internet equivalent of "I don't have a problem. I can quit at any time I just don't want to."
I didn't see this response before posting to Bill of Rights.
Well, well, well.
So much for, "I doubt he's done anything like this before."
He needs to be in prison.
Based on what you said he did I would have charged him with Criminal Recklessness with a deadly weapon,Pointing a loaded firearm,disorderly conduct and maybe public intoxication. The first two may be duplicate charges (To lazy to look them up). Arrest, detain, do the paper work and charges and let to prosecutors office sort it out. If he has a LTCH the sheriffs department should send a copy of the case report and charges to the ISP licensing board for an immediate revocation of his permit (If he has one) One good thing is if he has a drinking problem he WILL be ordered to undergo treatment, he WILL NOT be allowed to consume alcohol, he won't be able to be in possession of any firearms and he will not be allowed to live in any home that have firearms while on probation
He's lucky he didn't point a gun at the wrong guy and only got arrested instead of killed.

It was loaded.
