“Don’t attack my dog or you might get shot … if you’re a coyote”

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas is armed and dangerous—at least to varmints. The Republican, who is currently running for re-election, yesterday revealed that he shot and killed a coyote during a morning jog in Feb. Perry, it turns out, never goes anywhere without his .380 Ruger with a laser sight. When the coyote made the mistake of menacing his Labrador puppy, the governor whipped it out and shot him dead. One question: does he have a spandex holster?
