I get the Friendswood Police Activity Report weekly and this was in this weeks email. In fact, I've seen this sort of thing a couple of times lately in the reports. Personally, I never carry and drink, but that's just common sense IMO.
I also wonder if the gun being in visible sight was part of unlawful carry or just being drunk?
"Feb. 2 (4:35 a.m.) Tina Marie Perez, 43, of Houston, was charged with Unlawfully Carrying a Handgun by a CHL Holder. An officer noticed a suspicious vehicle parked near Bank of America by Baybrook Mall. The officer checked the welfare of the driver and found Perez asleep. The officer detected the smell of alcohol and asked Perez to exit the vehicle. At that point, Perez began to reach toward the passenger where the officer observed a handgun. The officer quickly took possession of the handgun. Perez began to fight with the officer and was taken into custody."
