More Progressive Texas Thinking.

From the AP:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicated Monday that he supports a school district's decision to allow teachers and staff to pack guns for protection when classes start this month.

But the money quote is:

"There's a lot of incidents where that would have saved a number of lives," Perry said after a news conference in Austin.

Heller Finally Allowed to Register Handgun in DC

 From the AP:

Dick Heller walked out of D.C. police headquarters Monday, clutching a yellow firearms registration certificate stamped "approved." He gave the thumbs-up sign, grinned and said, "Victory!"

So what did he register?

He won approval to keep a .22-caliber revolver at home after coming to police headquarters in July to be fingerprinted and take a firearms proficiency test. Police approved the weapon after completing a background check.

No mention if he was dropping the suit against the city after failing to be allowed to register his service pistol.
