Drunk Prison Guards

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California’s corrections department has a problem with off-duty prison guards brandishing or carrying firearms while they are intoxicated, the department’s inspector general said Friday.
One correctional officer danced atop a bar while drunkenly flashing his gun several times at private citizens in the tavern.
Another drunken officer pointed a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun at a citizen’s chest during an argument.
They are two of seven incidents since June 2014 that show the department needs to automatically and immediately revoke concealed carry permits for officers caught consuming alcohol while possessing weapons, the inspector general said.
Gosh. I hate it when that happens to me. I remember the last time I flashed my guns around while drunk and standing atop a bar dancing. I remember. Well, sort of. I woke up in jail that night. I wonder if the prison guards did too?
