The Open Container Law Battle Rages On
Click here for the latest article in the Billings Gazette.
I love the arguments against passing an open container law: Why do you hate freedom? And by freedom, I mean freedom to drink in your pick-up truck?
Are drunk driving laws encroaching on your civil liberties? Is the walk home option really viable in this huge, sparsely populated state, where people live miles outside of bumblephuck?
My favorite quote from the head of the Montana Highway Patrol:
"It's almost accepted in this state that drinking and driving is OK. I'm not sure that's the attitude we have to have."

Uh yeah, drinking & driving is considered a right in Montana, isn't it?
I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER NOT DRINKING, BUT FOR THE PASSENGERS NOT BEING ABLE TO DRINK IS JUST STUPID. WE ARE BEING BLACKMAILED BY THE FEDS AND THAT IS WRONG. THIS IS MONTANA. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE. LEAVE US ALONE!!!
AFTER THE OPEN CONTAINER LAW, WHAT'S NEXT? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO WIPE OUR ASS OR NAVE SEX? LET'S PUT A STOP TO THE "IF YOU DON'T DO THIS WE WILL TAKE YOUR FUNDS AWAY". WE LIVE IN MONTANA. LEAVE US ALONE.
