I have carried without a CHL... a shotgun and two pistols for years and drove drunk with them in the car. I have also been pulled over with this ridiculously illegal combination when I was drunk, and when I was sober and to no consequence. Cops just don't search me because I'm always calm and collected no matter what. In fact I like cops and I think they can sense that. I'm also a very nice person.

That being said...it's still a bad idea to carry if you're drinking, but I'm going to keep doing it. My idea on the matter is that if I have to kill someone, I'd rather be alive and facing that problem than dead. If I had to go to prison then I'd still be alive and get out in a few years. Jail just doesn't scare me that much.

I totally understand the NO CARRY policy when drinking though. I don't think you can be hard on someone for having that philosophy. I have friends that carry all the time unless they're going out to a bar to drink. Unfortunately that's when you might end up in the most trouble. I just don't care. I'll carry no matter what. If a guy decides to not carry when he's having a beer then that's his decision and I can respect that. I'm sure he's at least carrying a knife though and is probably going to a bar where he feels safe. That's what I do anyway.
