Rick Perry can’t carry concealed weapons after indictment

[SecularMotion]

A felony indictment for abuse of power will hit Texas Governor Rick Perry, an avowed gun enthusiast, where it hurts – by curtailing some of his rights to bear firearms.

Perry, a possible candidate in the 2016 Republican presidential race, has sought the spotlight since his indictment last week, holding news conferences to denounce the charges as politically motivated and turning his booking into a campaign-style event where he spoke to cheering supporters.

Under state law, Perry, a staunch supporter of gun rights who said he shot a coyote to death with a pistol while jogging in Austin in 2010, is no longer allowed a license to carry a concealed handgun because of the indictment.

Someone whose license is revoked can appeal or reapply two years after the date of revocation.

1. If he's a convicted felon (in the near future), he won't be able to vote either, right?

Aaaah, the irony.

2. You are correct. He'll have to behave himself and then write to Gov. Davis for forgiveness..LOL..n/

5. And she won't be lending him her's.

3. If I understand the 1968 Gun Control Act

correctly, he can't possess one either. I do know that he can not buy one, the question is asked on the 4473.

4. Until he's been convicted,

he can possess the guns he has now, if and when he's convicted, then he has to give up his firearms.

6. I believe his CHL is suspended and not revoked.

If convicted, he will lose the license. He can't buy guns or ammo while charges are pending.
