Hello All,
I am hoping to get some clarification...
Here's the scenario: I enjoy drinking at my house on the weekends but I also have a small dog that needs to go outside to the bathroom frequently. In northern VA having your own yard is pretty rare so anytime she needs to go out, I am going to be in the common area of our complex. If I had my own private yard I wouldn't feel the need to carry but since I am going through some sketchy wooded areas to let her relieve herself, I am much more comfortable concealed carrying. Is it legal for me to concealed carry if I am under the influence? Right now I leave my firearm at home because I am not going to risk it, but I would like to know if I have the option. Just so everyone knows: if I plan on drinking I never carry my gun, the question is, if I am drinking is it illegal to carry? I don't care about going out to bars and carrying... I am more concerned that if I have had some drinks at my house and I need to take my dog out, can I carry?
Appreciate any information you may have.
