The fact that it's illegal makes him a HP.

So does this mean a father is also an HP if he buys his 19 year old son alcohol in a state in which alcohol consumption is also illegal for under 21s?

Morality changes suddenly when you cross certain longitudinal boundaries, rivers, that sort of thing.  God works in mysterious ways.

Well, if the moral rule is "don't violate the laws of the jurisdiction(s) you're in," then there's no "mysterious" change in morality per se. Rather, the same moral rule has a different application in different areas. This is actually more or less analogous to property rights. For example, the moral law entitles you to build a house on your own land, but not on others' (unless the land owner consents, of course.)

For the record, I don't agree that it's inherently immoral to break the law. I just don't think your critique works very well.

Hmm?  It wasn't a formal critique, just a disagreement (and an observation of one of the results of such a test.)
