[kpete]

I asked Perry whether he's armed today. He declined to say. "That's why it's called concealed."

1. Oh God if he pulls a gun on somebody I don't even know how I'd react.. .

. . .this guy is a loon.

7. the only reason to pull your gun out is self-defense.

You would be mad if he had to defend himself?

2. Perry reminds me of:

[BigGovtFan]

9. because he is holding a gun?

Or what? Please explain.

[RKP5637]

10. The whole image. n/t

[BigGovtFan]

15. ohh just had to find a pic of saddam and not any other person holding a gun in the air.

[RKP5637]

17. Yep! n/t

[greytdemocrat]

3. I carry at times...

Several liberals I know do. So what?

[Bandit]

4. It must suck to be so scared all the time.

:shrug:

[greytdemocrat]

5. Hardly...

But thanks for playing.

[BigGovtFan]

6. I have my CPL license in MI.

I wouldn't tell anyone if I am carrying or not.

[Morning Dew]

8. Was that in Iowa? I don't think Iowa recognizes a Texas concealed carry permit.

[tularetom]

11. I agree - why should he tell anybody if he is armed

But, unless he is starting a 10k race or something, he looks like a like a buffoon firing a revolver into the air.

He also looks like someone who knows very little about handling firearms.

[DefenseLawyer]

12. Asked if he was wearing women's underwear, he declined to say. n/t

[RKP5637]

13. How about magical underwear. n/t

[madinmaryland]

14. Obviously compensating.

[BigGovtFan]

16. do you feel the same way about me or anyone who carries?

[RKP5637]

18. But you probably don't wave a gun around in the air as a politician. n/t

[madinmaryland]

19. If you are out flashing your firearm, then yes. From what you have said, you don't.

Though bragging about it, may also be a sign.

[GoneOffShore]

20. The cult of the gun - too many owned by the fearful & aggressive.

To prove that they're really powerful.

[Shagbark Hickory]

21. What a freightening picture. Crazyman he is.
