If You Carry, Defending Honor is Right Out

If you want to scare someone, go get a Halloween mask.

Stop looking for excusing to show your gun.

I'm glad that the reporter did mention that this incident was one of very few where a licensed CCW holder was involved in a firearm related breach of the law.

My take away from this reporters story is that there two groups of people who had been at the same party together earlier (perhaps alcohol was involved?), that a possible altercation may have taken place at said party, and that it continued anew when both parties had additional contact in a Denny's parking lot resulting in one of the parties involved beginning an assualt and the other brandished a sidearm.

Translation: Drunken immature kids use extremely bad judgement in a pis*in' contest.

At least the judge in this case gave the 22 year old a HUGE break by not pushing a felony charge. At least he may retain the ability to purchase firearms in the future. I do believe that what the judge handed down is going to be a darn sight lighter then what the military will give each of them.

I hope all involved have learned a giant lesson here and use the experience to good advantage. When your young, immature, and full of alcohol stupid actions can lead to extremely vertical learning curves.

Thankfully I never did anything immature and stupid when I was that age.

Don't they teach in school anymore that it's illegal to be under the influence and carry a firearm or am I really that old?!

If you want to split hairs it actually isn't illegal in Indiana.







P.S. I am NOT condoning or recommending drinking while carrying and I am sure they could get on you some other charge (as they should IMO).
