I would imagine that the correct charge would be Public Intoxication, which is simply being intoxicated to the point you are a danger to yourself or others. If you have a gun it should be pretty easy to get a conviction on it if you show any signs of intoxication.

If we are shooting guns or hunting and somebody in the group is drinking I�m leaving. Alcohol and guns don�t mix well together.

i'll be right with you

You think showing up with my cooler is a good way to clear the range when I'm about third in line to sight in my rifle?

FIFY!!

I ain't hunting with no drunk ass folks.

You can warm up the truck but don't leave without me. Drinking at camp the night before we hunt is something we've always done but not while we hunt. Too much can go wrong already without the drink.

Guess i don't have to worry about nobody wanting to go hunting with me

"Did you hear about Rick?"
"No, what happened?"
"James shot his ass off!"

I dropped out of a great hunting club last year because of drinking. I�m not just talking about drinking at the clubhouse. Ive went to a shooting house and there were 18 fresh beer cans laying outside and the carton was laying inside. They regularly drank while hunting. I had a member offer me homemade one day when I got to sign in. I asked the president about drinking while actively hunting, His response was: �Ive been in the club 30 years and we�ve never had a drinking incident�. I dont begrudge anybody drinking; however, drinking while hunting and high power rifles dont mix. Over the 3 years I was there, it got steadily worse. The club was large (about 30 active members) of these 30, 15 were very heavy drinkers that hunted a lot. To the point of loading beer in backpacks at 5am at the sign in board. I cant help but believe there will be some type of incident one day, drinking member falling out of tree, accidental shooting, fights, ex. Just too much for me and my boys.

Would take an idiot to be drinking and hunting, just like drinking and driving.

I don�t think there is a specific charge either. I�m not sure what someone would be charged with if they were on private land hunting 3 sheets to the wind

My guess is that you are on private property you can do whatever you want. Not that I am for it. If you was driving anything such as atv or car I can see you getting DUI.

I don�t know of any department in Alabama that uses a field breath test. They are not admissible as evidence in this state. You have to be taken to a police station to take the drager breathalyzer.

What if you are not in public? In the middle of private property isn�t in public.

If you are around anyone else you are considered in the public's view for the purposes of public intox. You know that. I'm sure a GW would be considered a public person, especially when he has a legal right to be there.

Say What??!!?!

So if I'm peeing off my back porch and a neighbor walks around and sees me, I "could" be charged with public lewdness even though that person came on my property?

Just askin cause I like to pee off the porch
