Wonder why they choose to make a seen by calling out folks that OC instead of just posting 30.07 on all of their restaurants.
plain-clothes detective walked into the restaurant on Parkwood Drive in Friendswood, about 20 miles southeast of Houston, on Thursday morning. His gun was holstered at his side, next to his badge.
When the manager wouldn't serve him, he said that he was a Friendswood police officer, the department told KTRK. But he left when that didn't sway the Whataburger employee.
The fast-food chain decided to prohibit open carrying of guns in its stores when Texas' open-carry law went into effect in 2016 — but carved out an exception for law-enforcement officers. (Whataburger still allows concealed carry.)
