TAYLOR, V.C.J.,
with whom KAUGER, J., joins, dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. The trial judge and the Court of Civil Appeals were correct in their disposition of this issue. This was a drug house. There were packaged drugs, digital scales and extra baggies. There were guns and drug residue in the safe. The guns and the drugs are conveniently 15 feet apart. The guns are clearly helpful in facilitating the crime of possession of illegal drugs with intent to distribute. This is an uncomfortable picture for the drug dealer, but it is a clear picture for legal analysis.
