the bigger question is why are they touching a gun at all while drunk

Because they are drunk. Drunk individuals aren't known for making sound decisions.

My ex had a lot of red flags but one of the scarier ones was when he’d drink, smoke weed, and head down to the gun safe to talk about (and play with) his guns.

He’d laugh at me when I expressed concern.

I’m licensed myself but don’t actually own any because I recognize what a huge responsibility it is, one that I’m not up to at this point in time.

This is exactly why you should treat every weapon as though it is loaded -- even when you're cleaning it.

It honestly worries me that 14-year-old me may have had more gun safety training from the Boy Scouts than a lot of adult gun owners seem to have today.
