If your friend was a law enforcement officer in Lincoln he would be exempt from the city's "special rules" for prohibited persons, I read the link. I'm glad I don't live in Lincoln.

Not real sympathetic for drunk drivers as the typical recipient of a DUI has driven drunk 100 times before they get popped.
The real bummer is the guy isn't responsible enough to operate an automobile while sober. Yep Not at all Snake

Just didn't want to get into LEO bashing just because the rules don't apply to the privledged special few who are always put up on a pedestal, but routinely fall off of it.

The guy in the OP blew the .11. The drunk napping across both lanes was a lot worse.
Still, a .11 should not drive again. Drink at home, have a designated driver or take a cab.
The drunk napping across both lanes was likely in the .20 plus, probably way plus range. What does that have to do with someone who had four or five beers to hit .11? Why even bring it up? I have reason for not liking people who drive impaired. A reading of .11 is impaired. I suffer for a disease contracted on active duty. It went dormant for years and then came back. It includes sudden onset attacks of vertigo. When it came back I retired and turned in my CDL. I no longer drive because I don't want drivers on the road who are like me. I don't care what the cause is, drinking, drugs, or illness, if you are impaired stay the hell away from the driver's seat.

Boozers are losers, particularly when they drive drunk. I have no sympathy for the punishment they receive, with the clear and personally unwavering exception of loss of Constitutionally protected rights.
Lincoln's "law" is clearly unconstitutional. Such illegal laws are designed to weaken 2A and all our protected rights. I'm surprised some of you don't understand that.

Hmmm, I think that making possession,operation and/or ownership of ANY motor vehicle after a DWI should be a felony. Owning MV's is NOT a protected right,driving one even less. In factI believe that if someone uses a MV during the commission of ANY crime,misdemeanor or felony, the car should be confiscated and the above conditions apply.

I don't disagree but the law in Lincoln affects his gun rights. Guy I work with just bit the dust as far as possessing a firearm for the next 10 years. Gotta sell his house and move out of Lincoln or be a felon. Lincoln City Ordinance. Busted for DUI. .11 had his purchase permit revoked, hunting license cancelled.

While I don't want drunk drivers on the road.... and I don't even drink and haven't for going on 30 years, when laws like this can be passed.... not only is it aimed at DUI people, there are other offenses that can "take away" someone's right to bear arms...
its a bureaucratic divide and conquer mentality... and they use it subtly, coming up with reasons that the rest of the public will have no sympathy for the person who lost their gun rights...
make no mistake, the real target is ALL Gun Owners.. its just bureaucrats marking their time, and taking gun ownership away from citizens one at a time if need be....
while I have little sympathy for Drunk Drivers.. this isn't the way to try and solve the problem....

Yeah. 2 drinks at a Christmas party will blow a .11, yet we let 20'year olds with 4 kids from Mexico run over folks all day with a f250 and give them welfare dough to buy it, not counting the jokers from the Middle East and Mozambique.
Apples to donuts.

It says he has to have been busted for 2 offenses before he loses his right to possess a firearm, DUI is one, what is the other? Assuming he did it twice to be sure he got it right. Sorry no sympathy here. A Constitutionally guaranteed right cannot lawfully be taken away. Good friend lost his rights in the process of a manslaughter charge which also took all the other guys rights away. It was only a simple DUI. My friend is a really good guy, a stellar citizen, and an upright member of society these days. The other fellow is neither a citizen nor upright any longer.....sucks for both of them I guess. Looks to me like the fellow from Lincoln could just move out and carry on as ever with no change in possession or ownership - at least in the City of Lincoln's eyes; doesn't seem so bad.
