    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.

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

        Chill dude, you’re calling out “straw man” like I’m disagreeing with you. I’m saying that the rules should work the same way. There’s no reason people that smoke should be banned from gun ownership, just like people who drink aren’t banned.

      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.
