Not sure this belongs here, if not, I apologize.
I'm old, I have congestive heart failure, I worked for it, I deserve it.
7 weeks ago, I spent 2 weeks in the hospital getting things back in line. 2 days after getting out, I went to see 2 young men I'd gotten started in small businesses 40 miles from here. 2 shops, 8 miles apart. Coming home, I was feeling "funny". 2 Blocks from home, I was driving erratic. I should have pulled over, I was 2 blocks from home in a non residential area. I know, my bad. Sheriff stopped me, to be honest, I think I passed out and woke up. No business driving. I'd overdone it activity wise, on prescribed drugs that COULD cause drowsiness. New version of drugs I'd been on, no prior problems. Arrested for OVI, OK, I deserve it.
This past weekend, the kids were all home. 2 extremely liberal upperclass daughters, one conservative son. Daughters were trying to convince the wife...."dad needs to give up his guns" Everyone needs to give up their guns. Both live in gated communities, us, not so much. I just listened.
Monday, the sheriff served me with a summons. I've carried in my vehicle for years, I HAD a valid CCW permit. t the point I blacked out, my CCW was no longer valid. I was under the influence of drugs. Prescribed drugs, but drugs. OK, that's what I pay an attorney for. (thank God I can afford an attorney).
The reason for this post..... The only thing my attorney told me was to get rid of my guns. They don't care if I'm on drugs, they don't care if I drink, but if I have firearms locked up in a safe, I'm flirting with disaster. Daughters live in gated communities, I'm in the country, and I should give up my guns? Congestive heart failure ain't such a bad thing, I just wish it worked faster.
