A blood test would have half of them locked up.

Do you know of any instance in this county where a CCW holder has been charged with injuring any one?

Good thing those two guys in Oklahoma city had theirs in the parking lot. Dont know what your problem With CCW holders is but the numbers show nation wide they commit fewer crimes than cops. Doubt any of the 44 people shot in Chiraq this past weekend were shot by CCW holders cause permits are almost impossible to get there

Now I don't see any point in beating these offenders completely to death, only therapeutically appropriate amounts the billy club should be administered.

Weed cannot be lawfully obtained in this State so like I said arrest the pillbillies on the spot, and if the LEO hits them several times with a billy club for resisting that's fine.

If you are going to quote the law how about including the whole law. You will also notice that the statute only deals with concealed carry

§ 14-415.11. Permit to carry concealed handgun; scope of permit.

(a) Any person who has a concealed handgun permit may carry a concealed handgun unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law. The person shall carry the permit together with valid identification whenever the person is carrying a concealed handgun, shall disclose to any law enforcement officer that the person holds a valid permit and is carrying a concealed handgun when approached or addressed by the officer, and shall display both the permit and the proper identification upon the request of a law enforcement officer. In addition to these requirements, a military permittee whose permit has expired during deployment may carry a concealed handgun during the 90 days following the end of deployment and before the permit is renewed provided the permittee also displays proof of deployment to any law enforcement officer.

(b) The sheriff shall issue a permit to carry a concealed handgun to a person who qualifies for a permit under G.S. 14-415.12. The permit shall be valid throughout the State for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

(c) Except as provided in G.S. 14-415.27, a permit does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following:

(1) Areas prohibited by G.S. 14-269.2, 14-269.3, and 14-277.2.

(2) Areas prohibited by G.S. 14-269.4, except as allowed under G.S. 14-269.4(6).

(3) In an area prohibited by rule adopted under G.S. 120-32.1.

(4) In any area prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 922 or any other federal law.

(5) In a law enforcement or correctional facility.

(6) In a building housing only State or federal offices.

(7) In an office of the State or federal government that is not located in a building exclusively occupied by the State or federal government.

(8) On any private premises where notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a conspicuous notice or statement by the person in legal possession or control of the premises.

(c1) Any person who has a concealed handgun permit may carry a concealed handgun on the grounds or waters of a park within the State Parks System as defined in G.S. 143B-135.44.

(c2) It shall be unlawful for a person, with or without a permit, to carry a concealed handgun while consuming alcohol or at any time while the person has remaining in the person's body any alcohol or in the person's blood a controlled substance previously consumed, but a person does not violate this condition if a controlled substance in the person's blood was lawfully obtained and taken in therapeutically appropriate amounts or if the person is on the person's own property.

(c3) As provided in G.S. 14-269.4(5), it shall be lawful for a person to carry any firearm openly, or to carry a concealed handgun with a concealed carry permit, at any State-owned rest area, at any State-owned rest stop along the highways, and at any State-owned hunting and fishing reservation.

(d) A person who is issued a permit shall notify the sheriff who issued the permit of any change in the person's permanent address within 30 days after the change of address. If a permit is lost or destroyed, the person to whom the permit was issued shall notify the sheriff who issued the permit of the loss or destruction of the permit. A person may obtain a duplicate permit by submitting to the sheriff a notarized statement that the permit was lost or destroyed and paying the required duplicate permit fee. (1995, c. 398, s. 1; c. 507, s. 22.1(c); c. 509, s. 135.3(e); 1997, c. 238, s. 6; 2000-140, s. 103; 2000-191, s. 5; 2005-232, s. 3; 2011-268, s. 14; 2015-241, s. 14.30(cc).)

Therefore anytime a LEO smells weed or alcohol on a person carrying a concealed handgun, the LEO should place them under arrest.

NC prohibits concealed carry while consuming alcohol or when there is any alcohol or controlled substance in the blood.

Anybody remember the old GreenHorn Hideaway?? If'in you didn't get pulled upon leaving, you were traveling on a under ground railway or by a cab. Nxt day, cars were abandoned East to West for miles....

That's great for your area and the drivers that you know.

Again... Every Uber driver I know is as busy as they want to be

Good grief Joe, you need to relax. Maybe you need a reason to call an Uber.

Like Chendo is saying, they can't just pull people over because they left a bar. If that is their reasoning then they must check everyone as they exit, walking or driving.

For the Wilkes county area I absolutely think they need to off some incentive. Heck I've seen people on here just recently state that Uber is $5 a mile and that is just not soo. Many have no idea how it works and it would be a great introduction to the joys of not driving.

@hangs...every Lyft and Uber driver I know is just as busy as they want to be without offering discounts. And they have more than Their fair share of customers who need a ride because of drinking.
Who would want to known as the "drunk uber"?
@Joseph...the staking out of local watering holes is an old trick...it could work as a deterrent, as people who have been drinking are more apt to hand over their keys to a DD, or call for a ride if they see cops waiting. However this is damaging to the businesses, and there have been lawsuits over this.
If they hide...they still have to have a real reason to pull someone over...not just the fact that they are leaving a bar. Again...lawsuits abound.

The topic is about people driving drunk not walking but nice try to deflect the topic which is a common liberal tactic when they have no idea what they are talking about

LMAO - You do realize they could stop the ones walking as well.

Have you melted yet.

I'm just doing as you do.

No you said they have to stop everyone who came out if the bar. Which isn't true they would only need to stop and check the ones driving. So once again you have prove that you have no idea what you are talking about and when called on resort to name calling

Ok snowflake, don't go having a meltdown.

It is just a conversation.

And I said they'd have to stop everyone. You know we can have a conversation without you getting your panties in a bunch.

I know they use their own vehicles.

Everyone loves a good deal. If the Uber driver gets more business to a certain bar and that bar encourages their passengers to use a particular driver, they are guaranteed money.

Then those passengers remember that driver and word of mouth.
