I should not have read anymore on this thread, but the question, "Would you let your kids on a schoolbus if the driver had "only a few drinks"?" is so good that it must be enlarged to ask,
"Would you let your kids go the the range and use a gun if the instructors had just a few drinks?"
I am sure that the instructor would claim that he knew what his limit was and could safely teach your kids shooting after he had a couple of drinks.
What if you had a child who was of age to drink, would you permit him to go to the range after a couple of drinks with some teachers who had just had a couple of drinks?
Be honest, and you who claim that you can drink just a little and still be safe, answer that you would let your kids be taken to a shooting session by one or more instructors who had just one or two drinks. Should not those instructors know their limit?
The attitude of punishing the person after he has killed someone ignores the fact that when it can be done, prevention is the better choice.
It is small consolation for a parent or loved one who has just had their child killed by a drunk driver or a drunk CHL holder to be told that the killer will be punished.
