It's a marketing demographic acronym for - even worse - here it comes -

Double Income No Kids

Oh lordy lordy my husband and I are those terrible terrible 'selfish' childless people!

I won't stop using it anymore than yuppies and buppies and the recent addition of 'hipsters'. DINKS are the highest non business targets of fraud (brute force account take over) at my wireless company.

ETA: Learn about us. The DINK demo and Single By Choice crowd have a powerful dollar.

If they're carrying concealed, how do you know they're carrying? tumtum Aug 2013 #42

If you lived where I lived JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #47

That may be true, but that's not what I asked. tumtum Aug 2013 #51

It's a great point--we don't allow people to drink and drive, why should they be allowed msanthrope Aug 2013 #5

Who's allowing people to drink and carry concealed? (It *is* still illegal, btw..) X_Digger Aug 2013 #20

The Illinois law thecrow Aug 2013 #27

The other half of that is that it doesn't allow *carrying* while drinking. X_Digger Aug 2013 #28

If it's concealed, who the hell would know? AlinPA Aug 2013 #74

Without pulling a driver over, how do you know he has a license? X_Digger Aug 2013 #84

Why bother with your chart and the last sentence? My question has nothing to do with that. AlinPA Aug 2013 #86

No, it's perfectly relevant. X_Digger Aug 2013 #87

Texas CHL holders are merely better at beating the rap. Robb Aug 2013 #88

Oh look, random data point without data for comparison. X_Digger Aug 2013 #96

Don't let good data get in the way of manufactured stereotype... Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #131

"Culture war", Wayne? Robb Aug 2013 #137

Yep. Casual denigration doesn't hide anything. Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #140

I'm not proposing anything. My point is how the hell would you know if someone has a gun if it AlinPA Aug 2013 #89

The same way you 'know' if someone driving down the road has a license.. X_Digger Aug 2013 #97

Prevalent convictions...frequency..? Try this: 10 people drinking in a bar. One of them is hiding a AlinPA Aug 2013 #98

Easy, The criminal! Bazinga Aug 2013 #100

Can't see what conviction numbers have to do with it it. Maybe frisking everyone at the bar? AlinPA Aug 2013 #102

Or how about not encouraging a culture of reckless gun toting? ellisonz Aug 2013 #146

I like the Texas approach to this problem oneshooter Aug 2013 #147

Did you read the OP article? ellisonz Aug 2013 #150

What about an olive garden, or a Texas roadhouse? Bazinga Aug 2013 #160

Is there some rule that says one cannot become intoxicated at the Olive Garden while gun toting? n/t ellisonz Aug 2013 #161

Yes there is. It is against the law. Bazinga Aug 2013 #162

So clearly then we should set an arbitrary limit on where one can tote where alcohol is served? ellisonz Aug 2013 #163

Why is no guns while intoxicated not enough? Bazinga Aug 2013 #164

"Why do I have to compromise my safety because of someone else's beverage choice?" ellisonz Aug 2013 #165

Absolutely right. Bazinga Aug 2013 #166

The Second Amendment does not afford a right to carry whatever gun, whenever, wherever you please. ellisonz Aug 2013 #167

Please define threatened. Bazinga Aug 2013 #168

Tough shit. ellisonz Aug 2013 #169

Well then I'll side with the Democrats, Bazinga Aug 2013 #170

That doesn't mean what you think it does. ellisonz Aug 2013 #171

Fair enough. Bazinga Aug 2013 #172

We don't disagree. One of us is giving the interpretation of the Constitution as declared by SCOTUS. ellisonz Aug 2013 #173

What was hypothetical about my argument? Bazinga Aug 2013 #175

You didn't address my post at all. ellisonz Aug 2013 #178

Nor you mine. Bazinga Aug 2013 #181

Nobody. Travis_0004 Aug 2013 #128

It allows you to CC, as long as the owner doesn't ban firearms, tumtum Aug 2013 #30

It depends on whether IL concealed carry allows drinking while carrying rl6214 Aug 2013 #73

Its a social more that a restaurant is expected to cut a drunk off at a certain point and encourage Erose999 Aug 2013 #54

And that is the law in states that allow concealed carry in restaurants. X_Digger Aug 2013 #55

there are plenty of other places for gun humpers to go Skittles Aug 2013 #77

Sure there are. tumtum Aug 2013 #104

sorry, I cannot help with your affliction Skittles Aug 2013 #111

Affliction in your eyes, tumtum Aug 2013 #123

sorry, it's not me who is paranoid Skittles Aug 2013 #124

It sounds like you're paranoid of people with firearms. tumtum Aug 2013 #125

Not this shit again ellisonz Aug 2013 #149

Nobody's forcing you to read it. tumtum Aug 2013 #153

Paranoid? You guys can't venture out without a gun strapped to your body. Hoyt Aug 2013 #157

You're funny. tumtum Aug 2013 #158

Sounds reasonable - it is all about choice. nt hack89 Aug 2013 #6

"It is illegal to drink and drive, and it should be illegal to drink and carry a gun." Jim__ Aug 2013 #9

It is illegal to be drunk and to drive. In many states it is illegal to be drunk and to carry a gun. hack89 Aug 2013 #11

You are incorrect. blueamy66 Aug 2013 #139

No, and it would still be illegal to do so in IL after this change. n/t X_Digger Aug 2013 #21

Only a total gun crazy would disagree, lark Aug 2013 #39

Thanks for acknowledging I am not a "total gun crazy." Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #135

As a gun owner and restaurant worker, this guy makes a very clear and to me obvious point: marble falls Aug 2013 #10

In many states it is a crime to use a gun while intoxicated. hack89 Aug 2013 #12

I agree totaly. I'd go a step further: being arrested drunk with a firearm should lose one's right.. marble falls Aug 2013 #15

Just like a drunk driver should permanently lose their license. nt hack89 Aug 2013 #18

A person with more than two or three DUIs should lose his license at least until the drinking stops. marble falls Aug 2013 #24

No. One DUI is all that is necessary to kill an innocent person hack89 Aug 2013 #32

I'll drink to that. marble falls Aug 2013 #35

You generally do Lee-Lee Aug 2013 #92

Thanks for a common sense approach. Eleanors38 Aug 2013 #132

I wonder how many customers leave his place just under the legal limit but still impaired? hack89 Aug 2013 #13

Am I the 'he' of which you speak? I cut my customers off at two drinks in one hour and keep.... marble falls Aug 2013 #136

never thought about this mgardener Aug 2013 #14

Are you saying that your state does not alread have that law? ManiacJoe Aug 2013 #80

Alcohol and guns are a toxic mix obama2terms Aug 2013 #17

They have allowed guns in bars here in Tenn. for over 4 years Go Vols Aug 2013 #56

No, they tend to shoot people in the parking lot. Robb Aug 2013 #58

Yep,not in a bar Go Vols Aug 2013 #61

And nothing about concealed carry, either. X_Digger Aug 2013 #64

Harry Ray Coleman held a concealed carry permit. Robb Aug 2013 #66

Funny, the article you posted doesn't seem to support that.. X_Digger Aug 2013 #67
