Le affaire and le bullet

Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn wants to make drunk driving a reason to prevent a person from being able to carry a concealed weapon in Wisconsin. Excuse, me, but what the hell does drunk driving have to do with carrying a concealed weapon?

Perhaps Flynn should be concerned about his own weapon and keeping it concealed. After all, when is a gun (double-entrende intended) more likely to be used with deadly intent, the result of an extra-marital affair gone wrong, or when someone is drunk? The jealous and angry spouse, or a shooting at a few road signs?

Perhaps Flynn should be reminded of everyone's favorite nursery rhyme from Full Metal Jacket:

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [chanting] This is my rifle.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [grabbing his crotch] This is my gun.
Marines: This is for fighting.
Marines: [grabbing their crotches] This is for fun.
