    Was visiting some family in central Illinois and went to a range where they allow drinks. They were quite proud of it.

      That’s crazy to me. Why would anyone want to be consuming alcohol while shooting?

      I know how I am when I smoke, and there’s no chance I’d trust handling a firearm. Not because I’m violent or anything when bake (lol who is) but because my reasoning and decision making skills are impaired, maybe I mistake something for something else in a tense moment and something bad happens. Nope. Safe stays locked, and the door to their room gets locked and the key given to someone responsible, or put in the coffee tin. (I don’t like coffee and baked me steers clear of it, so I figure it’s better to be in there behind several obstructions)

        Alcohol makes your aim more steady (in small to smoderate amounts.) It’s considered a PED in shooting competitions.

          I believe it. The first hit of my thc pen makes my hands stop shaking, any relaxant is bound to make your aim steadier in just the right amount.

          Still won’t ever see me shooting when alcohol is present.
