Cool news of the morning: Texas Governor Rick Perry packs a .380 Ruger loaded with hollow-point bullets, scores a coyote.
Texas gov. shoots, kills ‘wily’ coyote during jog
On this particular morning, Perry said, he was jogging without his security detail shortly after sunrise.
“I’m enjoying the run when something catches my eye and it’s this coyote. I know he knows I’m there. He never looks at me, he is laser-locked on that dog,” Perry said.
“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.
Perry said the laser-pointer helped make a quick, clean kill.
I charged it.
Gag me with a spoon.
P.S. for non-shooting people, one charges a weapon by putting black powder into it and affixing (should the weapon be so advanced) a cap on the nipple.
Since the .380 is a recent addition to the lexicon of death and destruction and has its powder and cap contained in its cartridge it’s unlikely Gov. Perry had to charge anything other than his wish to be Davy Crockett.
He charged the laser pointer you anti gun know it all…
Hmmmmm if a weapon doesn’t have a cartridge in the chamber is it charged? If a weapon has a full clip but no cartridge in the chamber is it loaded? Is the propellant in a cartridge called the charge?
I guess Governor Perry could throw a molotov cocktail at the vermin like Nominalrod’s hero Bill Ayers.
It’s pretty obvious he’s referring to the laser sight. Jeesh.
