Awww. Sad. DeLay's lost his Conceal/carry gun permit. Oh, the Humanity!

August 4 - The Washington Post used today to remind us that Tom has other legal troubles ---

Just as well that Tom DeLay switched his residency to the Old Dominion: A Texas judge has squashed his attempt to keep packing a pistol back home.

The former House majority leader, who gave up his congressional seat in June, lost his concealed-weapon permit after he was indicted on campaign money-laundering charges -- Texas law prohibits anyone facing felony charges from carrying a gun. DeLay's lawyer filed an appeal in February, but a Fort Bend County judge quietly dismissed it last month, according to court records, on what looks to be a bit of a technicality (DeLay didn't send the state public-safety officials a certified copy of his petition).

DeLay's Austin attorney Steve Brittain did not return our call, so it's unclear if DeLay has recourse other than hoping for an acquittal or for the charges to be dropped. Sadly, his change of address won't help: Virginia also prohibits folks charged with a felony from packing heat.

1. I say let him keep his gun provided he be sent to Iraq, Afghanistan,

Lebanon or the next front...Syria. And I think Cheney should join him, it being hunting season in the Middle East and all.

2. He was allowed to carry a gun?

5. Everyone in TX can get a concealed carry permit if they follow the

requirements and are not a felon or under indictment!

DeLay is scary, but think about it...Shrub can too!!!!!

3. I'd Be Willing To Bet He Still Carries

After all, the laws were not made for HIM to follow. He's the type of prick who would just ignore this and still carry. Someone should frisk him.

4. He should of had it taken away when he

got out of jail, as part of his condition of his bond... Possession of a firearm is a big NO-NO when you are out on bail...
