I can’t say what San Diego will do with the drunk charge, but in Fresno County it is extremely rare for someone to be formally charged and prosecuted for being drunk.

How do they handle drunks waving guns in Fresno?

"How do they handle drunks waving guns in Fresno?

In Fresno every family reunion and picnic is an "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fire Arms" event.

A person waving a gun would be charged with rude display of a firearm, a misdemeanor. Penal Code 417(A):

If the violation occurs in a public place and the firearm is a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than three months and not more than one year, by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
