I would oppose issuing a concealed carry permit to any person who uses powerful mood altering drugs even when prescribed. Just as I would oppose issuing a driver’s license or a pilot’s license to such. There must be some degree of responsibility attached to the exercise of any right. These drugs are quite powerful and tend to produce sometimes drastic misperceptions of the environment (I have seen it many times). The last thing we need is irresponsible use of firearms by otherwise law-abiding citizens because they are too intoxicated to make a fully rational decision.
Where in the 2A is the exception made for the things you talk about?
People ALWAYS have a right to self-defense....and if they use it inappropriately they should ALWAYS have to suffer the consequences.
Period.
What's a CCW holder supposed to do if he gets injured and his doctor prescribes pain killers while he recovers? Turn in his license, and then have to go get a new one when he heals up?
Should a person be denied a CCW, or the right to own firearms at all if they’ve ever been diagnosed as being an alcoholic?
