Moonglum: I never made a claim. Thats your spin. I said "Its my understanding" . It can be my understanding without providing sources. "Its my understanding" is a lot like "Its my opinion" .It qualifies the statement.
See post 47 . Just for you, I dug up what I could. Apparently I wasted my time,you seem to have not read it.
Thats all the time I'm going to spend.
Moonglum and Aguila Blanco:
Here is my original statement:
I'm not in favor of mixing alcohol and guns.
If the guns must be secured in the vehicle before being served...I'd think thieves would target the parking lot.
OK,I'll try to play devil's advocate for balance. (Note my intent. NOT playing legal authority)
In my state (Colorado) my understanding (I'm not a lawyer) is you can be in a bar ,concealed carry, and have a drink in front of you. Supposedly, you might be legal having a beer with a green chili burrito plate.
The legal limit for being armed is the same as the legal limit for being impaired to drive. I think thats a .04 BAC. Its also my understanding Law Enforcement has the discretion to take your firearm and permit regardless if BAC if you have been drinking.
Note that I lead with 1) "Its my understanding" In fact, that IS my understanding,whether I prove it or not. 2) I also clearly said "I'm not a lawyer" 3) note "Supposedly" and "You might be legal"
Where did I (as YOU say) make a claim?
It was not meant to be taken as legal advice. It was meant as context for the discussion. Significant is the part about the officer having the discretion to arrest (a driver) for DWAI regardless of the breathalyzer BAC . You can blow zeros and get arrested on the Officer's discretion. (In Colorado).
I quoted the Colorado Revised Statute on "Prohibited use of a Firearm" in post 47. It used the terms "Intoxicated" and "Impaired" without defining them.
I do not consume alcohol when I carry.I do not advocate for mixing guns and alcohol. But I also am not into telling a club or range they CAN"T do it. I just probably would not go there.
It seems like you are demanding professional grade legal advice and I just can't/won't go there.
Take responsibility for your own life and choices. Don't bet your future on something you read on the internet.
Once again,I DID NOT say "Colorado law says ...." presenting it as fact.
I said "Its my understanding " (WHICH CAN BE WRONG)
NOW,WHAT IS IT YOU WANT FROM ME???
