I read that the law in Indiana is that you can carry in a bar (obv if you have your permit to carry) but if you drink its the same BAC limit for driving a car as it is for carrying a gun...so .08
Partly true...partly hogwash.
There isn't anything in the Indiana Code about any kind of BAC for carrying a handgun.

huh...i know i did read it somewhere but of course it couldve been pure bs.
I have carried into a bar. Concealed of course! And don't get sloppy drunk.. worst that can happen you could be not served any booze.. The bartender does have that right to deny anyone booze.. and could ask you to leave.. which you must comply.
As far as I can tell, your right to self defense is still protected even if you are intoxicated.
Would individuals in the media, in the DA's office, and maybe even in the jury (if it gets that far) not LIKE it? Maybe. The law doesn't say anything about it, though. Carrying is perfectly legal, and acting in self defense is still protected.
Pretty much.
If it were ME, though, I'd want the record to show that I hadn't imbibed of any intoxicants should I have to defend myself / wife / family with my firearm.
