Gov Rick Perry is Awesome.

I've been following The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, for a while now and I continue to be impressed by most of his economic, social, and political policies.

Today I learned that he carries while he runs. Awesome. It sounds like a Ruger LCP, which is less than desirable for self defense, but honestly, carrying anything bigger and heavier while running isn't very practical. Kudos to an awesome individual in public office.

I mean, I'm going to carry larger while running.

People with any redeeming qualities shine so brightly now. Denis Prager was saying today we are in the midst of a civil war of ideas. Left vs Right. The left is winning around the world now.

Yea, that was pretty cool to hear this morning. Shooting a coyote that was going to eat his dog. One has to wonder what size dog he has? If he was defending a Yorkie, Cockpoo, or Chihuadoodle(?) bait dog, he'd loose some of that new found respect.

Good for him..... I don't mind my LCP, better to have it than nothing.

Also notable: it was his daughter's dog.

Favorite quote from the article:

"I holler and the coyote stopped. I holler again. By this time I had taken my weapon out and charged it. It is now staring dead at me. Either me or the dog are in imminent danger. I did the appropriate thing and sent it to where coyotes go," he said.
