Society and our laws are a balance of everyone's freedoms to some degree. If you want to do anything you want to do without having to consider how those actions impact others, buy up an island and be a hermit Quote HistoryQuoted:

You can drink anything else in public, why not beer? Also, having been a late swing shift worker at one time, I too wonder why beer at 4am cannot be had. I can see banning open containers on the street in certain areas. I think you should be able to walk house to house in a neighborhood with a beer. I also think the passengers in a vehicle should be able to drink as long as the driver doesn't. |

Is that how you justify your opinion that suppressors should not be more easily obtainable the the average person? I've also previously explained in detail that I believe that NFA process should follow the arc that concealed carry permits followed. There is still a long ways to go in expanding availability of NFA before we should think about making the approval process more simplified |

Try for what? Your post says everything I need to know about you. There are still ten states that have no provision for NFA. Worry about extending NFA to those ten before working on simplified NFA for the other 40. A few decades ago if gun owners had tried to go straight from no permits issued to constitutional carry, the effort would have gone nowhere. My position has been explained before but in typical GD amnesia style it needs to keep being repeated |

Laws exist because people fail to regulate their own behavior. It's a sad reality, but people just suck and alcohol makes them suck more.
Frankly, alcohol is a scourge on the world. It causes thousands of deaths, costs fortunes to deal with the problems it creates, and drives people into the stupidest failures...DUIs, pregnancy, criminality, loss of jobs, and so on. Utterly stupid. |

I think it should really be based on the individual's level of intoxication.
If you're on beer 1 or 2 and can keep yourself composed, I don't care if you drink in public. If you're hammered, stumbling, on the verge of throwing up, the cops should be picking you up for public intoxication anyway. I too think it's pretty ridiculous that one can't causally have a drink as soon as one walks so far as their mailbox. |

We would not have those laws if it wasn't for all of the drunk drivers. His family wasn't very happy. Taking brand new (less than 1000 miles) company truck from the family business without permission. He should probably have stayed in jail. It didn't help that he apparently lied, or at least mislead his company lawyer. The letter we got from her demanding we reimburse all the costs their insurance wasn't covering was comical. Apparently he went on the cheap expecting that family members weren't going to get drunk and use company vehicles outside work. My FiL, the lawyer responded advising that it was her client that was southbound in the truck, her client ran the stop sign and her client arrested at the scene. He added in we were planning to sue to get a reasonable replacement to perform the things I used that car for. We got it. |

Here's not state law banning open containers even in cars that I'm aware of. Only city Laws. Hell Missouri even has a state law banning public intoxication laws. See section 49.031 http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/docs/PE/htm/PE.49.htm |

Where's your mailbox? In the urban areas where our open container law is in effect, there are no curbside mailboxes. They're all attached to the house, usually on the front porch or inside a stairwell. Also, getting the mail isn't the point. If I cross the street with a beer to see my neighbor, or go next door, both instances are a violation. It's a stupid law, and doesn't take context into account whatsoever. |
