by having CHP....am i bound to CHP rules while open carrying?
2550sx:
a person who holds a CHP is "ALLOWED" to carry a "Totally" "CONCEALED" handgun with "NO PART OF IT SHOWING". Following all the other rules of course. A person "WITHOUT" a "CHP" is NOT ALLOWED to carry a CONCEALED gun with NO PART OF IT SHOWING. Therefor if a person who is found by LEO to be carrying a "Concealed" gun they can be charged for that. (without being a CHP holder). Doesn't mean that a CHP holder "HAS TO CARRY CONCEALED. AND NO OTHER WAY.........Hence a "CHP" holder can open carry if desired like anyone else can.......
Carrying a concealed gun without a permit is a "Felony".
Open carry is "not unlawfull"

My question is what responsible gun owner would carry, concealed or open, after drinking? Imagine if you used the weapon with a substance in your body which alters your ability to use good sound judgment? That's simply irresponsible to put yourself in that position. You'd be a prosecutor's wet dream. If you drink, do not arm yourself.

Would you also consider it irresponsible to use a firearm in the event of a home invasion if you had drank a few that night? I'm definitely not talking about getting smashed & carrying a firearm... I was thinking along the lines of a few beers versus the absolute zero tolerance that is specifically stated in the chp requirements. Also, after a dinner out with my wife where i drink 2 beers, should I remove a handgun from the vehicle & lock it up in the trunk before we drive home? I think that these are valid questions & I'm sure that I'm not the first person to have thought about them.

I understand what you are saying but i am with jfad on this. Not trying to start a fight but how is drinking and being armed vs drinking and drinking and driving honestly i think your a larger threat driving.
Gary:
For sometimes drinking, and sometimes having a gun, can be done at 100% separate times, with nothing crossing paths. That is easy.
Concealed Carry, is a 24/7 discipline for many of us. Not much opportunity to blend the two.
