thats the unfortunate cirsumstance behind personal responsibiliy. were all adults and SHOULD know what we can and cant handle and should be able to make common sense decisions even if you have a beer or two. Ive seen people on allergy medication more screwed up than from alcohol. It doesnt matter what sport event or thing...there are those who cant handle havinh a few barley pops no matter what they do. anyways another thread derailed....ahhh

I would of woken him up by discharging his firearm ( in a safe manner of course ) and sent him home when he sobered up. Having a beer or 2 while on watch will not hurt anybody but passing out drunk would not be tolerated by any of the guys I hunt with.Quote:

This country legalized pot yet you can't have a beer at the park or a bottle of wine at the beach.

there you go "assuming", can't legislate it and can't expect it. Let us know how your licensed gun club works out....
Allowing alcohol consumption while operating firearms is irresponsible. Outdoorsmen/shooters have a hard enough time projecting a good public image thanks to all the anti-hunting/firearm groups out there. Helping these groups by fueling the image that firearm owners are irresponsible enough to operate firearms while consuming a known substance which lowers reaction times isn't any firearm owner should be doing. People see you operating firearms while drinking don't know if that is your first, third or tenth drink. We, as a group, are under the public's good graces to own firearms. We need to show the public we deserve our privileges or else they will take them away.Quote:

How many police officers out there have heard "But I only had two at dinner...." while they are charging someone with driving under the influence? Bars have to make sure all their staff have their Smart Serve certification because people consuming alcohol have shown they can't be trusted to use common sense when enjoying alcohol. What makes you think alcohol consumption and firearm operation would be any different?
Dyth
LOL OP did want he wanted too posted 1 post and all you guy's go nuts next time don't respond to dumb threads :D
I have to say that the reading comprehension of some people needs improvement. The OP wants to offer thanks to anyone that let's him shoot on their property - "I'd give you a pack of beer or some other gift as a thank you or you could participate if you'd like". Never said anything about a drinking party while they were shooting, but could of used better judgement when naming the thread. I've thanked more than one land owner with a bottle for letting me hunt their property.
ohh Dyth give it a rest dont you have something better to do today. Its Sunday - Go preach somewhere else.

Not saying Dyth is right or wrong but probably not responsible to post a comment the way the OP did especially for a first post.

Don't think the op was suggesting getting smashed and shooting the place up.
