Can You Carry After “Just One Drink”?

About this video

Colion reflects on a mass shooting that occurred in Austin, Texas on 6th Street—a location he frequents and had visited days before the incident. He explores the difficult dilemma concealed carriers face when socializing in environments where drinking is involved, questioning whether gun laws should treat carrying while drinking more like DUI laws (with a measurable threshold) rather than as an absolute prohibition. Colion also argues that given rising geopolitical tensions and what he believes will be increased terrorist threats, more civilians should carry firearms more consistently.

Key takeaways

• Colion describes the Austin shooting as a wake-up call, noting he was in the area days before and believes more civilians carrying firearms could help deter or limit mass casualty events.
• Colion questions whether laws should allow a measured alcohol threshold for concealed carriers (similar to DUI limits) rather than blanket prohibition, acknowledging the tension between responsible carry and maintaining a social life.
• Colion raises concerns about the tactical and legal risks concealed carriers face during active shooter situations, including being mistaken for the attacker by bystanders or police, and calls for a broader national conversation on civilian response to mass shootings.
