Actually, there is no law in PA about how much alcohol you can or cannot consume will in possession of a firearm.

Even carrying concealed?

When I was young, I was totally fucking retarded. Miracle that I fucking survived my youth. I'm one of the ones that probably took longer than most to grow the fuck up. I drove everything like I stole it. Like I was in a fucking road rally. Shit like you see on COPS today.

That whole "risk assessment" thing is just broken in young people.

And yet, you seem to have turned out OK?

Miracle. I know that now.

I used to think I could never hit anything, that anything could be avoided, because I was simply a badass. Truth is, I was just lucky.

Meanwhile, years later, after I had "retired" from driving like a complete asshole, that point was driven home when a child literally threw himself into my windshield, running without looking into the side of my car - the irony, of course, being that I wasn't speeding and still couldn't save the situation.

No.

I know now what I got away with as a kid was just pure luck. Risk assessment is lacking in young people. Science fact.

I understand the reluctance to have a bunch of idiot kids running around with guns to a point, but those idiot kids have been able to get concealed weapons permits in Texas for 15 years. While I don't live in Texas, I think an epidemic of drunken shoot-em-ups perpetrated by permitted idiot kids probably would have been national news. To me at least that potential problem hasn't appeared to be an issue.

Agreed

There are 'some' good points being brought up by the "don't think it's a good idea" crowd but overall since you first have to be 21 to even obtain the permit...this will rule out most college kids from carrying concealed anyway.

This is z. My dean sent out a "concerned"/"heads up" email about this today. I guarantee if my students are allowed to pack, I will be too. My biggest concern will be when "talks" have to be made to under achieving students...
