CCW while on valid opioid prescription?

[Griff79]

I had surgery last Tuesday and am currently tapering-off on my valid hydrocodone prescription.

Not driving (collar bone repair), but would still like to carry when out and about this evening- GO or NO GO?

Why do you need to carry this evening? Are you going to a dangerous area? I doubt it with a broken collar bone. What about just using common sense. I think you would probably just go out to dinner, maybe have a drink or so with your friends or family and come home. Nothing too wild and crazy. It is my belief that you would be able to handle yourself and your compadres safely and without incident.

I don?t know you, we haven?t met before, but reading into your post I am not sure why you would even ask this question. I don?t want to start a dumb Internet fight. That is not my intention at all. But can you go out for an evening without strapping up? I love guns I have tons of guns but I don?t need to go out packing every single moment.

Gun safety is and should be paramount to all that carry and use firearms. We know that as a forum and individuals. Would you be safe on opioids and pulling your weapon. Is there a possibility your judgment would be off and a horrible accident might incur? I think innately you knew the answer to your question before you posted or you would not have asked for validation.

I understand the argument, what if some Jack wagon starts acting the fool and you need to be armed for your safety. I get it but the bigger question is for a responsible gun owner, what?s the safest thing for the 99.9% of the people.

Im am sure this is moot because the event is passed. But, food for thought, if you did carry when you went out, was it the wisest move?
