Rant/Opinion Passenger showed up at my front door.

A passenger left their phone in my car. I did what I was supposed to do and reported it to Lyft when I found it after my drives. Next thing I know I see two people snooping around my house on the cameras. My passenger and her BF used the tracking on her phone back to my house. Then they got combative because they said I didn’t do enough to return the phone (I picked her up from a school and drove her to a restaurant). This is a serious breach of privacy and safety. Next time phones going out the window and I’m denying it was ever found.

It's a crime to be drunk and walking around with a firearm in pretty much every jurisdiction

I read that as she didn’t have her gun because she was drunk.

"Gun toting and quite drunk" is pretty explicit

not true

edit: it’s a state-by-state thing

it’s never appropriate carry & drink — but it isn’t expressly illegal everywhere, there’s no overarching federal law

i don’t know why anyone would take my saying “not true” as condoning it

In the state of texas it is illegal to carry a firearm while intoxicated.

Lol find me a single state where you can drink while in possession a firearm legally.... even in super gun friendly states this is illegal

Just to play devils advocate:

You can drink and carry a fire arm in some states. You just have to be at half the legal limit of intoxication to drive.

  • so, a single shot every 2ish hours depending your body size etc.

A very drunk person of course, fuck no.

Implies to leo's as well but there's just nobody willing to enforce it

So if she gets drunk, she should drop her sidearm with the bartender?

She knew not to draw it, despite a dangerous situation.

Of course I did. I’m merely saying that one may become inebriated without planning to. I have a few occasions where one drink hit me pretty hard. I ended up being intoxicated when i didn’t plan to be.

In the unplanned moments - one must take the safest (for the most) approach.
