New York Giants receiver suffers accidental gunshot wound

[MikeBjerum]

As much as ABC news radio irritates me they got it right last night when I was driving home ...

" ... self inflicted, accidental gun shot wound ... "

You can't fix stupid, and you can't legislate yourself away from stupid, and you can't protect stupid!

I'm sorry, but IMHO it takes a special kind of stupid to carry (LEGALLY OR NOT) into a bar (or anywhere else) where you will be consuming alcohol. 

Gee, I can't IMAGINE how something could go wrong in THAT scenario!

In my neck of the woods it is illegal to carry into any place that serves alcohol...... it is a stupid and redundant law because it is already illegal to consume alcohol while carrying (which is a good, common sense law)...... it leaves all the "never touch a drop of the stuff" people 100% unarmed if they desire to set foot in most restaurants.

Georgia just amended the law against carrying concealed in restaurants that serve alcohol. With a permit, you can carry as long as you don't imbibe while doing so.

I don't drink but MA has a similar law on the books.  Good thing I checked though cuz I've already eaten out whilst packing a roscoe, heat, smokewagon or sidearm, pick one!!!

We have a similar law here in Iowa.  Printed right on my permit are the words "not valid at any location where alcoholic beverages are served or consumed".  While I understand and agree with the theory, the practice of denying me my right to self defense because someone ELSE is drinking is, IMHO, a bit ludircous.

The bar is one of the places I want to carry.  Not because I feel any more in danger there than other places, but look at the reports of where and when a lot of assaults happen - near the entertainment districts during the busy times.  I do not go to the Cities without gun along, and I will not go out to eat or to a bar without one ... I just don't drink when carrying.

Nice work if you can get it!

I just stay as far away from the cities as I can.  Going to bars was a previous lifetime, not one I care to revisit!  I could live as far out in the boonies as I could possibly get and be a happy man.  I'm thinking about SD or MT, maybe UT.  Not too hot, not too cold.....
