Bearing Arms:
The idea of alcohol prohibition was settled almost a century ago when the Volstead Act was repealed by yet another constitutional amendment. It’s the only amendment that’s been passed, then repealed a short time later. In truth, prohibition was a complete and total disaster.
Luckily, we’ve left that behind. While some faiths take issue with alcohol consumption, that’s generally left to each individual to decide for themselves. Though, admittedly, there’s something to be said about using alcohol to combat some anti-gun arguments.
However, in Ohio, arguments are gearing up to determine whether drinking at home should make use of a firearm illegal.
The Ohio Supreme Court will hear arguments in February to decide whether a law prohibiting gun owners from carrying firearms while intoxicated should be applied inside a gun owner’s home.
Lawyers for a Clermont County man arrested in 2018 after he acknowledged having an unloaded shotgun while drunk say the law is unconstitutional when applied to homeowners.
They say a person’s sobriety or intoxication level should have nothing to do with possessing a weapon “in the hearth and home.”
And, honestly, they’re right.
Now, I’m a big believer in the idea that guns and alcohol don’t mix. I don’t recommend a range day with a cooler of beer and, in fact, will rail against it to anyone who cares to listen. It’s just a bad idea any way you slice it.
The thing is, though, you don’t forfeit your right to self-defense simply because you’ve had a few drinks. read more
The 19th amendment should be the next one repealed!
Repeal…you probably know the purpose of the 19th was to give the vote to an easily emotionally-manipulated voting bloc.
A timeline of the welfare state and big gov will show it took off after teh 19th was passed.
I don’t see it being repealed though.
Doesn’t the Fourth Amendment prohibit this?
How else do you stay warm up in a tree stand?
Next it will be you can’t have a gun in the home if you’re on any kind of medication. Then it will be you can’t have a gun if you eat broccoli.
Get out of our lives you bastards. Get out while you still have a choice.
Did the retarded son of a mailman come up with this idea?

Cleverly hidden basement speakeasy.
Bureaucrats are a threat to our prosperity and pursuit of happiness.
They need to be controlled or eliminated.
Sounds like an invasion of privacy within my own home. A bunch of fools at the helm.
The fact that “having an UNLOADED shotgun while drunk” could even be an arrest reason shows the insanity of Ohio’s “justice” system. How could this have ever been accepted by the OSC? The law is an ass.
If the end result of any prohibition is the proliferation of criminal activity, the I have to question the motives of those promoting it, especially if they’re judges & politicions.
Can you say unenforceable?
Where does this put me? I can count on one hand the number of beers I drink in a year.
Whats to decide? Both owning guns and drinking beer are legal!

Whatever Judge rules in favor of that Law needs to be HUNG by the neck until Dead.
Drunk driving kills FAR more people than drunk shooting. So arrest people who get drunk with a car in their garage! Stupid progressives.
But if you leave a used crack pipe, two DC driver’s licenses, multiple credit cards, a Delaware Attorney General badge and a US Secret Service business card in your rental car, you’re good to go.
Ain’t that right, Hunter Biden?
Any links to the Judges address’s?
If so,, heard of Saturday Night Fever?

But this isn’t fair! Hunting sober is like fishing….sober. I don’t drink and handle firearms but to echo others, in my house I’ll do what I want. If that happens to mean knocking back a little of grandpa’s old cough medicine and cleaning a fully semi automatic ak-1547 or some other terrifying baby killing boom stick, so be it.

Wanna make a big difference?
Repeal women’s right to vote, with minimum 5 years if they attempt it. That’d set this country well on the track to what’s right within 10 years.
23 astronauts came from Ohio. Maybe now we know why they were so anxious to leave the planet.
The government should never be given the right to control what citizens do in their home. Just about every state I know of has laws regulating possession and use of firearms in public places, so we don’t need any more laws, we just need to ensure compliance of the ones we already have.
I wonder who (👃™) could be behind this?
The public officials who push these things should face Federal Civil Rights charges as well as malfeasance charges. That includes any judges who use their office to abuse citizens civil liberties.
Sounds like it’s time to use the 2nd to get rid of judicial tyranny.
