I'm wondering what everyone does about oc/cc ing while under the influence of a controlled substance. I don't drink, but I am taking Percocet as well as a couple of muscle relaxers and other things. I'll be having a spinal fusion sometime in the next 30 days, after recovery I'll be done with the drugs. What I'm doing now is not carrying at all if I've taken any of my medication, but I hate doing it. I just feel naked and vulnerable without it. Granted, I've only been out of the house 7 times since October (I work from home), but I hate being unarmed. I don't carry while doped up because the drugs do alter my judgement and I'd hate to make a mistake if I had to make a decision to shoot. I'm also wondering if in a circumstance where I had to shoot would I be drug tested by law enforcement. As I'm writing this I'm now wondering if the same holds true for a self-defense shooting in my own home....that concerns me now that I'm thinking about it. Is a drug test of the shooter in a self-defense situation drug tested as part of every investigation? If so, they would find a smorgasbord of legal and prescribed narcotics.
Thanks!
Thanks!
