If one wants to consume alchol and carry a firearm, get a permit in NC. While the bill does not specify alchol limiits it does infer being intoxicated which would be established by the state's DUI criteria. Just as driving and drinking do not mix, neither does being intoxicated and carrying a firemarm with or without a permit!
Many bills must be watered down to get through the legislatures. This may be the case here.
As for future expansion of limits to the NC bill, that will be up to the legislatures to block such abuses.
I say thank you NC for pushing forward on our 2nd Amendment rights.
The language about alcohol I vague. Not saying there shouldn’t be language about it, but it should be extremely clear and specific so it cannot be manipulated to suit special cases.
Requirements to exercise our constitutional rights (that come from God) shall not be infringed upon. What if these 'requirements' were imposed upon my right of free speech, or freedom to assemble. or any one of the other rights we have? If it's okay for one right, then it must be okay for all my rights, which means they are not really my 'rights' at all...!
Completely, I have a beer or two a few nights a week, and often just drink a quarter to half of one while I’m going to bed for the soothing qualities from the hops and light alcohol on the stomach, body and soul. So if I do that and go to the shooting range the next day I may be breaking the law? Sounds like a very stealth and encroaching bill. Thanks for the heads up:)
Alcohol. I'm a huge supporter of freedom and the 2A. That said, I'm good with the alcohol provision of zero BAC. Alcohol, like drugs, has no place in the responsible carry of firearms. With rights comes huge responsibility. I exercise my right to carry and take the responsibility to be sober and clear-headed in my decision-making. I simply don't drink while carrying. Practically, getting into a self-defense with any level of BAC will be used against the shooter in criminal and civil court. If there's a chance of getting into a self-defense shooting, then having even one drink is irresponsible (Hint: if you're carrying concealed, there's a chance of you getting into a shooting or you wouldn't be carrying).
Mental health: "Adjudicated" means a resolution through due process finding an individual is mentally incompetent for some reason. So, yes, this can be abused, e.g., in the Soviet Union, dissent from communism was a "mental illness," but the idea that someone who has been found to be mentally incompetent and carrying a firearm is not inconsistent with the 2A. That person cannot be responsible for his/her actions, and therefore is not competent to possess or carry a firearm.

Authoritarian freak legislators are at it again. They just can't help themselves to more and more control
