Arizona approves bill allowing guns in bars

Sounds healthier than the wait until college and drink until you get alcohol poisoning method.

So you believe early moderate drinking in adolescence will reduce later binge drinking in young adulthood? Not rhetorical question. I wonder how alcohol should be introduced to young people.

No, it can only increase it I think.

Teens will drink themselves silly here just as they do elsewhere. The main difference I see is we don't drink alone that much. Drinking is a social thing.

I remember when I was in Europe taking classes there was this Irish guy who would leave his last class at around noon and head to the bar and start drinking and by the time we showed up to party that evening he was already passed out.  I never figured what the point was of getting so plastered during the day you missed the party that night.

Anyway drinking alone is pretty rare here as well outside of alcoholics I think...

Kentucky not only has an open carry law but employers can't prevent you keeping a gun in your car while parked on their property.

Barbarians. 

Property owners here at least retain the right to ban that shit.

Guns are bad.

When I got hired here the HR director was doing a dumb orientation thingy and pointed that out.  He followed his comment with "even though it's legal, we politely and respectfully ask you to leave your firearms at home."

You Southerners are fucked up.

Meanwhile, Johnny snaps and brought his favorite 12 gauge to work....

Believe it or not there hasn't been a workplace shooting here for like 15 years, unless you count the guy who went into his ex-girlfriend's office with a gun, couldn't find her, and then took the business owner hostage and end up killing himself.  If you count that, there hasn't been a workplace shooting here for like one week.

[DGuller]

One week is nothing to scoff at.  Better to be not shot for one week than to be shot sometime during the week.

I'm not allowed to bring firearms to work.

'Tis better to be shot at work then never to be shot at all.

Didn't Wal-Mart lose a lawsuit a while back because they didn't allow a person to carry in the store and he got mugged?
