Somewhat true. But if you're not prepared to take it out of the holster, why even bring it? And the reason I say "somewhat true" is because somebody can take that gun out of a drunk's holster. I don't think that it's unreasonable to require that people be somewhat sober when holding a gun in public simply because it may diminish their capacity to _defend_ that gun.

Good point: you do have a strong duty to retain your weapons, and while they're concealed, being intoxicated will make it harder to maintain the concealment and much harder to fight off a grab for one of them.
