while John Wayne's character was teaching Ron Howard's character how to shoot, he said that guns and booze do not mix.
In Florida, it is illegal for a CCW holder to carry in a bar. While Florida recognizes my Wyoming permit, it is a felony for me to enter a bar while armed in either state. Some states, like Ohio, you may carry in a bar as long as you don't drink.
Trump is also wrong when he said prevented. It likely would have mitigated the carnage, like the Westgate Mall terrorist attack, but not prevent.
If something like Ohio law, or having the employees armed is worthy of legitimate discussion. I'm agnostic on that issue.
Allowing drinking alcohol, or in-taking any other judgement impairing recreational drug, is fucking stupid.
