Gov. Perry loses CPL….

[ezkl2230]

Because of the specious charges brought against Rick Perry, charges that even many hard core liberals say are shaky at best, he has lost his right to carry a concealed firearm in public, as well as to buy firearms and ammo:

“It shall be unlawful for any person to sell of otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person (1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.”

The amazing thing? If he is actually convicted, he could be sentenced to as long as 109 years. Just think - there are mass murderers who have been sentenced to less time in prison. And why? Political spite.

Eugene Volokh has analyzed the charges:

His firearms rights will be restored if he is cleared of the charges.

Well, he can open carry a rifle or shotgun. And he should, at least until he leads the fight for OC handguns gets passed.

He has as many state troopers as he wants to protect him. He does not need to carry his own gun.

Reagan had the entire Secret Service to protect him. Remember how that worked for him? "Well, just in case you guys can't do the job, I can help out." He carried his own pistol during his first trip to Russia. Yeah, I know he supported Brady. He no more wanted to rely on the SS than Perry wants to rely on state troopers.
