Oh, but, I beg to differ — from experience — once having had to disarm a couple of friends who had too much to drink at a party at our house……..

They were off-duty cops. Most certainly law-abiding, and they were not mad at anybody — yet. Mr. Boomer did the disarming — in a charming, disarming way…..

No problem getting their guns — although they were a bit miffed when they sobered up, said they would never have used them — probably right, but not worth taking the chance.

Next morning, we gave them breakfast (no-hair-of-the dog though) — and gave them back their guns and their car keys. (Mr. Boomer had taken those, too.)

It was one helluva party. (a very long time ago) But, at least, we were responsible hosts, even in our much younger days, sort of.
