I can only hope his "buddies" at the bar, who called him a cab to take him home since he was so TOTALLY smashed/out-of-it, would have AT LEAST sent one of their more sober group with him to ENSURE he got home and into the house/bed okay, so perhaps they MIGHT be feeling a LITTLE BIT guilty by letting him go home alone without ensuring his safety on the way home and into his house. I KNOW I WOULD, if one of MY friends was so smashed out of his mind he couldn't find his way home by his-self, and he DIED after trying to FORCIBLY ENTER THE WRONG HOUSE, I'd feel TERRIBLE (and the poor woman is VERY UPSET about what happened - but she's NOT at fault here)!!!skb12172 wrote:Yup.

But then again, I try and take care of my friends, no matter their state, and will protect them whenever I can, so I NEVER get to the point where I don't know that I'm doing (besides, I HATE hangovers - they simply are NOT worth it!! I have a hard enough time remembering things anyway, I don't NEED alcoholic blackouts to contribute to the problem - you know, after you hit 50 years old, CRS [Can't Remember Shit] starts to creep in).

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
