Showing Original Post only (View all)Perk of Perry Indictment.. Did he know this when he was smilin' for his mug shot? [View all]
Herman: Indicted Gov. Rick Perry cant carry concealed gun or buy ammoForget that it could ruin his presidential aspirations. Look beyond the possibility he could spend about a century in prison explaining to fellow inmates (with names like Mad Dog and Widowmaker) the intricacies of constitutional law and vetoes.
Those of you who wish ill upon Gov. Rick Perry (and shame on you for doing so) perhaps will find delight in the fact that his indictment already has hit him where it hurts. Its right there in federal law, specifically the federal law known as 18 USC 922(n), and I quote:
It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or 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.
Thanks to last weeks indictment, your fun-with-guns governor is now in that category.
For those of you whove been sleeping since it happened Friday, Travis County grand jurors indicted Perry on charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. The first count carries a possible prison term of five to 99 years. The second, two to 10. Im no expert on law or math, but I believe those potential sentences each exceed one year."

Just because..
"And, he noted, Perry can no longer carry a handgun while jogging on public property, as he was doing when he famously gunned down a menacing coyote in 2010."

That's what finger pointers do. Accuse the other person of doing what they are doing.
