Were I running a hypothetical Rick Perry for President campaign, that photo would feature prominently on the cover of every single piece of campaign literature I would send out.

It would be on the campaign Facebook page.

I would have Perry bring a gun with him to brandish for effect at candidate debates!

The one thing I want to know is, can Rick Perry yip and yee-hah in the manner of Yosemite Sam while firing off that gun? Inquiring minds want to know.

saw the photo. (smile) Didn’t think he looked crazy. I wanted to figure out what kind of gun he was shooting.

A few years ago I audited a refresher class at a state university extension. The few weeks following the Illinois university shooting, the thought of a copy cat shooter gnawed at me sufficiently, that I did formulate a plan of action. I didn’t carry at that time, but I knew some in the class did because of their work.

In 1991 a lunatic with a gun strolled into a Lubys restaurant in Killeen, TX (ironically, nearby to Ft. Hood), and gunned down 23 people, injuring another 20. It’s still the second-worst shooting rapage in American history, with the VT killing coming in first.

At least one survivor has come forward to say that if she hadn’t left her gun in her car, she would have been able to stop the shooter, and her parents would still be alive.

I, for one, beleive her.

F-YOU!!!

My 83 year-old mother just passed her CHL test Saturday. Watch out for Gov. Perry and little old gray-haired ladies!! Don’t Mess With Texas.

for all my bay area connections to turn their nose up to! God bless Texas for keeping things balanced in the country.

I have no idea if Perry will run for President but he is building a solid record here in Texas. I believe he is now the longest serving governor. He beat the Bushes in the primary contest against Kay Bailey Hutchinson – they supported her over Perry. And he is now head of the Governor’s Association, which will give him the ability to build some goodwill and support nationally.

He has made some mis-steps with the vaccination controversy and the trans-Texas corridor. But these did not hurt him in the last election when he easily defeated a strong primay opponent (Hutchinson) and the Democrat (White) in the general election.

The picture itself would be a campaign poster here in Texas.

From http://www.concealedcampus.org/state-by-state.php
“Utah is the only state to allow concealed carry at all public colleges/universities, by prohibiting public colleges/universities from creating their own restrictions.”

Granted, I don’t watch/read any of the MSM but I don’t remember reading about any massacres at any of my state’s institutes of higher learning.

In 1982 the city passed an ordinance [Sec 34-21][13]

(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.

(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

Guess what happened to their crime rate.

the more I wish Perry would run for POTUS in 2012. He has has own pastt policy problems to be sure, but he is the only major political figure who has been successfully playing power politics on offense against the 0. Jindahl, excellent on defense but Perry has been taking it to the 0 on funding and EPA permitting. This picture is a “twofer.” The lib media cant reallly follow up on it because, peretty soon the question becomes, “just what is in that ammunition that is creating all those millions of jobs?”Meanwhile rank and file whiny libs and statists look at the picture and say “OMG OMG they are barbarians down there, no matter how bad th economy and taxes get on the coasts, we’ll never never move to that place!” And so they dont. Like I said, a “twofer.”

turning this picture over to the RS board and letting them post it as one of those fill in the bubble or write the byline contests? My entry: “Gov Rick Perry in time honored tradtion declares the opening of Liberal Season in North Texas -2 bag limit”

Always left-leaning and as continued propagandists for Obama and his regime, the AP credibility years ago. They are about as irrelevant and obsolete as the old teletype machines that used to spit out their latest news (along with the UPI).

Kudos to Rick Perry! He is an avid hunter and shooter who understands the importance of the Second Amendment.

My YCT family member and their group were proponents of licensed concealed handguns on campus. We hear about the big stories, like the mass shootings Virginia Tech, but there are unpublished stories of robbery, rape, and murder on campuses (especially in dorms). An open-campus like the University of Texas is an open invitation for street-dwellers, thugs, and drug-addicts to come on in and commit a crime against college students with i-phones, i-pods, Mom and Dad’s debit cards…the list goes on. Just check out their “Campus Watch” for the daily campus crime sheet.

If it takes a photo-shopped picture by the inane AP to make a point (and that one backfired on THEM), so be it. Our campuses will be safer if responsible students, faculty, and employees who possess a CHL have the freedom to utilize it!

of college kids carrying guns around campus with them. I know I know I can hear the Redstate chorus now “RABLE RABLE RABLE, hisssss hisss hiss”. Ok duly noted, but here is why I dont like it: I remember when I was roaming a texas university campus and as I recall not all of us were of sound mind. Frankly, a lot of college kids are screwed up in the head, and the illigal drugs and booze dont help. There days, you got at least 25-30% of them being true paranoid schizophrenics believing Bush was behind 9/11 and ready to lash out at any kind of official action.

Yes I know outlawing guns on campus wont stop everything, but my common sense tells me its probably not a good idea for these kids to be twirrling around a handgun as they try and figure out what they are in life.
