Are you one that truly think open carry is more dangerous than drunk drivers?

Is open carry really more dangerous than consuming alcohol? A lot of people oppose open carry because they believe any firearm near or around parks, malls, or anywhere there might be children is to bring danger there. I have never heard of any children being killed by open carry but I have heard many children and sometimes their parents along with them to be maimed or killed by people behind the wheel with too much alcohol in them. There is no Constitutional right I know of to get drunk or be drunk yet so many seem afraid to drop the hammer on drunk drivers. Is the alcohol lobby that strong where our politicians are afraid to take them on or stiffen penalties for drunk driving? Instead of going after people exercising their Constitutional rights wouldn’t the politicians be doing better making our roads safer by going after drunk drivers and making it harder to get or stay behind the wheel?
