This is like 2 years old and some of the facts have been exaggerated.
Also, gun owners can still want gun control.

In researching the laws considering alcohol and concealed carry for MO, I came across a LEO website that had a forum. There were officers and civilians discussing my query. The officers stated that the .08 % to determine drunkenness during driving was only to indicate an automatic failure of sobriety and even if the test indicated a lower reading, the officer could still charge the person by their opinion and failed roadside tests. This was relevant, as it was also stated that the officer's opinion (only) could be used to determine the sobriety of a concealed carry holder with their weapon. If a concealed carry holder is considered impaired by a substance and they are carrying their weapon, it is considered an automatic felony. Does that seem to jive with your knowledge of the law ?

In Tennessee, like in many other states, there is no exact level (like with DUIs) required to prove that a person is "under the influence" when charged with a Public Intoxication or Going Armed Under the Influence. INstead it is based on the officers perception. this can be challenged in court, but the State does not have to prove that a person has a certain level of alcohol (like .08 BAC with a DUI) or other drugs in his/her system in order to get a conviction. Interseting side note on the Tennessee law. T.C.A. 39-17-1321 only applies to possessing a HANDGUN while under the influence.
