How can such a law be enforced? That is the main problem as I see it. It’s as thought it would be one of those “secondary” violations, like seat belt laws used to be. They are in the house on a domestic violence call, the man or the woman is intoxicated, and there is a gun on the kitchen table. Busted.
That’s All I’m really seeing here.
Yep.
Or an anti gun neighbor walks by the gun owner’s trash barrels on trash day, throws a few empty beer bottles next to the empty ammo boxes and calls police.
Like the idiotic red flag laws, this is ripe for abuse.
I think it means that if you were in your home and have had a drink and some clown breaks in and you shoot him it’s your fault that he broke in.
Also, suppose you use your gun in self-defense in the house and in the course of the investigation the police discover that you have beer in the refrigerator or a liquor cabinet, I think the law would then be used to prosecute you.
We should never underestimate the overzealousness of anti-gun prosecutors.
