    I don't advise it. You'll go a bit blue in the face and then pass out, and the rest of the world (including just about every single court) won't care very much. When you wake, you'll probably have a headache.

  • This is why you should never tell anyone if you own firearms. Some people are scared of it. Any right to work state can fire someone for this, and there is no recourse for you.

    You should probably also not tell people of any pot smoking regardless of state legalization status. Kind of the same concept as the guns. It may be legal in CO and WA, but you will have no recourse if your get fired for smoking it.

    If you are owning firearms and smoking pot, then you probably lied on your form 4473. A felony, I believe. A case for attending gun shows where private transfers don't require a form 4473.

    I only read the beginning and end of the discussion. I have hopefully brought this back on topic.

    Flame on!!!

    This is a misleading sentence. Private transfers don't require a 4473, regardless of whether or not you're at a gun show. If a dealer goes to a show, he makes everyone sign a 4473. Some guy looking to offload an extra pistol for whatever reason, doesn't.

    Not in IN. Technically, in IN, they cannot even stop you from bringing it to work, so long as you leave it in the car. There are specific laws on the books in IN protecting from these specific things.

    One of our managers organizes does most of the cooking for Friday barbecues when the weather is nice. He was also responsible for organizing a celebration for a major project milestone a few months back. He and a couple of other managers rented a suite for an after-party, the main purpose of which was to get as intoxicated as possible. (My knowledge of the after-party is second-hand; I left when the official celebration ended.)

    AIUI, he supplied special cookies for the after-party. Our HR person participated, but strictly forbade him from bring any cookies (special or otherwise) to the barbecues.
