Louisiana Governor Advises Women Scared of Serial Killer to Get a Gun

"You have the right to get a gun permit," Foster said. "Learn to use it."

Now that sounds like an enlightened elected official.

Someone hand me a tissue.

I think I'm gonna cry. :-)

"Not many towns know how to deal with a serial killer."

Actually, the Governors suggestion that women get a gun and learn to use it is EXACTLY how to deal with a serial killer, or single killer, or rapist, or......you get the idea.

Bang, er, bump!

Someone should check to see if Lousiana State University allows students who live in on-campus dormitories to carry guns. I doubt it. I know many colleges and universities forbid these students from owning and/or carrying a firearm on their grounds. It may be a liability issue, but it's more likely a gun control issue, since most people in academia are lefties. I wrote an editorial in the student newspaper in response to a rash of assaults close and on my campus (University of Delaware), and I mentioned that fact in my piece. But I also mentioned that people off-campus should carry, and learn to safely use their weapons. It's ridiculous, since the campus police aren't even armed with guns! (Even though the local town's police are). It's a continuing issue on campus. After I wrote my editorial, a couple leftist peers of mine wrote angry letters in response, and I argued with one of them over e-mail. Their ignorance is disturbing.

That just cinched his re-election. (Get rid of Mary Landreiu)

"You have the right to get a gun permit," Foster said.

My only critique : why do we need a permit to exercise our rights ? That makes it a privilidge.

Even so, for a governor to say this is welcome indeed.

"Get a gun"

And thats the way it should be...

I applaud the Governor

...hmmm, let' see...

"You have the right to get a gun," Foster said. "Learn to use it."

Ahh, that's much better!

Another reason why, if there was no Texas, I would live in Louisiana!

I visit Cajun country frequently. Great food, wonderful folks, good times.

Louisiana Gov. Mike Foster

Y'all do know that gun owners and activists had big hand in electing Gov. Foster, don't you? Most especially one particular gun and Republican activist who went by the screen name of "LoboAzul", aka Jim Bohan. The "Old Blue Howler of the South Texas Plains" expired one day a few years ago while "on the job" at the keyboard of his Mac, fighting to the last. I don't know that he ever made it to the web or Free Republic, but he was active on the mailing lists, most especially DF8 (Defoleyate, the successfull effort to dethrone a sitting speaker of the House, Tom Foley) and was a founder of the now somewhat moribund list NOBAN, whose aim was/is repeal of the Ugly Gun Ban.
