I understand that if you have a CHL it is an offense to be "intoxicated" while carrying.
My question is this: can you have your firearm in your vehicle (thank you Castle Doctrine) and go out to the bar for a drink or two and then drive back home without committing a firearm related offense? Is the law regarding this (if any) the same if you have a CHL or if you do not?
I currently do not have my CHL (yet) and I like to keep my firearm near by in my car. I don't however, want to get in trouble if I go out and have one or two drinks at the bar with my friends and then have an issue with the police because I have a firearm in the vehicle. (Set aside any possible DUI offenses, but then again I don't drive after 3 drinks so its not an issue).
