Who are you and what have you done with Herb Martin?HerbM wrote:I have to disagree with you here. CHLs have had a great track record for 12 years now. All it would take is just a few barroom shootings by CHLs and we'd have an avalanche of bad press that would overshadow the true success of the program.

Chas.
I don't think CHL holders would go to bars, get drunk, and engage in shootouts if carrying there were legal. Anyone inclined to that kind of behavior can get drunk now at a non-51% establishment, and they don't do it.
More CHL holders minimize or elminated their drinking because of the risk that being even slightly under the influence slows down reaction time and may cloud judgment.
As with all these restrictions, there are states where it is completely legal to carry a weapon in a bar, and law-abiding people there don't turn into drunken berserkers.
