Texas Governor Perry Rocks!

We need more politicians like this guy…
…Perry said Texas should consider allowing licensed, law-abiding citizens to carry their authorized weapon anywhere in the state.
“I think a person ought to be able to carry their weapon with them anywhere in this state if they are licensed, and they have gone through the training,” Perry said.
When Perry said anywhere in the state, he meant it.
“Whether they’re in church or whether they’re on a college campus or wherever they are,” Perry added. “The last time I checked, putting up a sign that says, ‘Don’t bring your gun in here,’ for someone who has ill intent on their mind, they could (not) care less.”
All handguns, licensed or not, are currently banned from bars, restaurants, schools, sporting events, correctional facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, amusement parks, places of worship, governmental meetings and courthouses.
Perry called that nonsense.
“The idea that you’re going to exempt them from a particular place is nonsense to me,” he said….
… “I think it makes sense for Texans to protect themselves from deranged individuals,” he said. Source: KXAN
