    Aren’t the pot smokers more mellow and less likely to fight/shoot/kill someone. I think drinkers stand a better chance of violence. How about we leave both groups alone. Case closed … next?

      I think the issue should be pretty cut and dry. You can drink as often as you want and own guns. You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking. You should be able to smoke whenever you want as long as you’re not inebriated when you’re shooting.

        Fully agree, and have alienated myself from former friends over this.

        You can drink all day and night. but don’t you dare touch a firearm while drinking. I don’t care if you’re just a little buzzed, man

        As far as I’m concerned, smoke weed every day. But don’t you dare touch a firearm while high. I don’t care if you’re just a little toasty, man

        Drugs and guns don’t mix. Alcohol is a drug. Don’t drink and shoot.

          Well, drugs that impair you, anyway. Caffeine, for example, is fine, unless you’ve had so much that you get jittery.

        You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking.

        Try telling that to the old farts at the trap range.

        I knew one club shooting president who really, really wanted to ban drinking while using any of the ranges. The culture of having a beer while shooting was too entrenched, and the loss of membership numbers from the old guys leaving would have put the club out of business. So it was only banned on the pistol/rifle ranges. Had to leave trap and skeet as they were.
