You're a self proclaimed drunk who's been busted for DUIs. You should know this. "If convicted, the first charge ranges in a two to 20-year sentence while the latter sentence carries a one to six-year range". In Nevada The law may state that, but you're ASSuming that he will be convicted, pretty sure there still has to be a trial and a conviction before he is sentenced. But apparently you've already decided he's guilty, and has no chance to win. Because you are an expert and KNOW things....no not really, you just like to sound like an authority and speak in absolutes so you come across like a tough guy. Also, I never said I was busted for DUI, I said "especially after a DUI stop and some later trouble with the law." A stop, not an arrest, and no DUI on my record. So don't twist my words around. Now go back to being a perfect man with no faults 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are seriously not trying to justify drunk driving by saying everyone does it. Don't try to justify your poor life choices by saying everyone does it. I've had 3 DUIs. No one needs to tell me not to do something 4 times. Sober since 6-16-17 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As fas as I understand , NFL teams all have driving services available to avoid this kind of thing. I remember reading that . Any time of night or day you could call and they would arrange a ride. I know he could have ubered as well but this was custom made service he could have used . And I do understand what steve was saying. In this day and age , with every driving service known to man available to you, there is absolutely no reason on earth to drive drunk and I believe DUI #s have decreased significantly with the onset of uber etc . Steve wasnt glorifying or trying to make it cool . Back in that day we did drink and drive . It was ridiculously stupid and completely inexcusable , but a lot of people did it. You took a careless and terrible chance with the well being of others and yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonster Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Ruggs better really hope he has some mitigating circumstances because they are going to go for, and might get whatever maximum there is. If not be able to upgrade his charge to whatever the law allows. That is really, really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And twice the legal limit is pretty polluted. For some perspective, Donte Stallworth was going 50 in a 40MPH zone, was 1.5 times the legal limit, and hit a pedestrian that was crossing outside the cross walk, running out into his path. There were plenty of mitigating circumstances and I recall (and read again when reviewing yesterday) that his attorney felt they may have been able to fight all the charges and get off. But Stallworth felt really bad, and wanted to do the right thing, and plead guilty to a felony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking more in the general sense of requirement to have a permit etc. I would hope it is illegal to carry while intoxicated in all states, but not being a gun owner I'm up on all that. And to be clear unlike some states (pretty sure this is the case in Ohio) where you cannot carry in a bar, or drink while carrying, you can in Nevada, up until you exceed the 0.08 BAC limit. https://www.nevadacarry.org/#:~:text=It is legal to carry,08 BAC (NRS 202.257). I'm not sure its a huge impact on the charges he faces or the amount of time he's going to spend locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
