Super genius.
Yippie-ki-yay, my friend. Rootin'-est tootin'-est governor in these here states.
Texas gov. shoots, kills 'wily' coyote during jog
AUSTIN, Texas – Pistol-packing Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don't mess with my dog.
Perry told The Associated Press on Tuesday he needed just one shot from the laser-sighted pistol he sometimes carries while jogging to take down a coyote that menaced his puppy during a February run near Austin.
Perry said he will carry his .380 Ruger — loaded with hollow-point bullets — when jogging on trails because he is afraid of snakes. He'd also seen coyotes in the undeveloped area.
When one came out of the brush toward his daughter's Labrador retriever, Perry charged.
"Don't attack my dog or you might get shot ... if you're a coyote," he said Tuesday.
Perry, a Republican running for a third full term against Democrat Bill White, is living in a private house in a hilly area southwest of downtown Austin while the Governor's Mansion is being repaired after a 2008 fire. A concealed handgun permit holder, Perry carries the pistol in a belt.
"I knew there were a lot of predators out there. You'll hear a pack of coyotes. People are losing small cats and dogs all the time out there in that community," Perry said.
"They're very wily creatures."
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.
"It was not in a lot of pain," he said. "It pretty much went down at that particular juncture."
Texas state law allows people to shoot coyotes that are threatening livestock or domestic animals. The dog was unharmed, Perry said.
Perry's security detail was not required to file a report about the governor discharging a weapon, said Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange.
"People shoot coyotes all the time, snakes all the time," Mange said. "We don't write reports."
The governor left the coyote where it fell.
"He became mulch," Perry said.
Super genius.
Rational.the laser-sighted pistol he sometimes carries while jogging. . .

Who puts a laser sight on a pocket pistol?
Someone who wants to hit what he shoots at.Who puts a laser sight on a pocket pistol?

If he's afraid of snakes he shoulda just loaded snake charmer rounds.

Ya all know I aim to please! Thank ya for your support
What a ing redneck.
Wedge issue bait.
This is ing awesome.
Yeah, what kind of dirty ass redneck protects their self and their dog.
It's not uncommon to find snakes and crap like that on rural trails and shoot them. My grandpa used to do it all the time.
More likely this is just a story made up by Guv. Goodhair for his gun-toting supporters. Notice how his security detail just happened to not be there and it supposedly only took a single shot. And, oh yeah, it happened two months ago. Right.
More likely he totally freaked out and starting shooting up the trail, after which the coyote laughed and ran away.
The governor of Texas that's who!Yeah, what kind of dirty ass redneck protects their self and their dog.
What's the point of having a dog that can't protect itself from a single coyote?
BTW, Wile E Coyote was always my favourite WB character. Little did I know it at the time, but he perfectly encapsulates the Sisyphean nature of life.
yeah right we all know that coyote was threatening to mess up his hair.
Is this made up? Those quotes sound very fake. If he really said all that then that's one big
Did everyone skip this little tidbit here? So you CHARGE the animal before it even acts?...mmhmmm
I will have to disagree....
That's ed up. I seriously doubt a coyote would go up of it's way to harass a male human and a dog in an urban setting.
Every animal is worth more than every human; I'd just assume see Perry get gunned down in cold blood by some TX PETA member. Anybody who would murder a canine deserves as much.
You're not one of those people are you
