Instructor was correct (sorta) - because as stated 'it is the LEO determination if the CHL holder (carrying a handgun) is impaired'! Could get you a ride downtown, whether or not there would be a conviction - ehh! Don't know. Maybe - depending on how demonstrably drunk one might be. Personally - I just don't drink when out anywhere anymore. Don't want to be caught driving or carrying where I might score on a field sobriety test or if some other situation arose.
