I thought the guest of honor shot the person because he was so startled by the surprise. Instead, it is a "don't handle a gun when you have been drinking" story. I'm sure the NRA will put out some bullshit about this one.

I mean, obviously the NRA would fight such a law tooth and nail. Because that's what they do.

Gunning under the influence or will intoxicated- depending upon the state. Yes there should be a law. But what about all those guys going out on 1st day of deer season with a mother of a hangover that they nursed with some of the hair of the dog that bit them.
