Texas governor Rick Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take out a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog near Austin.
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don't mess with my dog.
Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.
Perry told The Associated Press he sometimes carries his pistol, loaded with hollow-pointed bullets, when he jogs on trails because he's scared of snakes -- and that he'd seen coyotes in that area.
When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter's labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol.
"Don't attack my dog or you might get shot ... if you're a coyote," Perry said.

Read that this morning of Drudge. I'm sure if he had done that in Cali he would have been arrested. Good for him and good for Texas.
Big fan of Ruger BTW. Not a fan of the .380 caliber.
-
Nice! I would have done the same thing to protect my dog. My .45 has Crimson laser Trace grip. Also not a fan of that caliber but it's all about shot placement anyway.
-
Shooting a gun doesn't really take any guts.
If he used a knife or a baseball bat I would be impressed.

And that was while he was jogging... Next time he's gonna jog with a SWAT team and wreak havoc on coyote packs.
I thought coyotes usually go around in packs, a single coyote would probably run away if it saw a man shouting or raising his arms.
Probably excessive Texan overreaction.

What do you think he should have done? What would you do if a coyote was threatening your pup? I was hiking in the boondocks about 8 years ago. Just by myself and in the middle of nowhere. I notice I was being stalked by a mountain lion. I threw some rocks at it and it would run off but then it would be right back. At one point I saw it's head peeking out from the brush. It was about 20 yards away. I just calmly drew my tuned Smith and Wesson .357 model 586 with a six inch barrel, dropped to one knee so that I could rest my elbow on my knee, and put a 158 grain right in his head. Blew his skull apart. Gun aficionados will know that this is not an especially easy shot. But I was a competitive shooter at the time (IPSC) and used this particular piece for target shooting. I could easily keep all my shots in the black at 25 yards out so I knew I could get a head shot from that distance. The trigger was tuned and broke like glass.
Of course I had to get out of there real quick because they arrest you for stuff like that. To justify killing a cougar you have to have his claw marks all over.

It's not about impressing anyone. It's about surviving. In one of my training classes we were told that not only is cheating OK but encouraged.

LOLOL nah, fist to paw would be the way to go to prove his manliness lolol ;D

Damn! I'm impressed. Nice shot
-
Well, maybe it was 15 yards. ;D
But, as shooters are apt to do, I counted my steps to the target and "rounded up" --- considerably.

hahahahaha cool story either way. It would have a very different ending if you weren't carrying.

first of all it sounds like animal abuse if he's jogging in a remote location with a puppy.
-
Pussy....... a real alpha male would have wrestled the coyote down and beat it to death with his bare hands.

Huh? I'm sure it was close to home. In some rural areas, even where I live, you don't have to be very far from home to be in the jungles or boondocks.
-
Any dog that can't tear apart a coyote for sport is a dog that doesn't belong to an ''alpha male''

Alex23 thinks it's alpha male behavior to cuss out women on facebook and shoot coyotes with guns.......

I had to go to a shoot and it was pouring rain and I knew it would also be muddy as hell where I had to go. So I brought "throw around gun" that I never cleaned and shot for kicks, my Ruger P98. That baby never jammed once in the 300 rounds I went through that day while guys with Sigs, Berretas, HK... guns that were 2-3 times the price as the Ruger had jams. Ruger is a great American company and makes tough, sturdy and quality products.

How does that aluminum frame feel in your hand? Heavy? I have the P345 with the rail.

coyotes dont really hunt in packs and they are actually somewhat solitary at times...
LMAO at all the pussies on here whining about him shooting a coyote that could have killed his dog and even if the dog could have taken the coyote why let the dog get hurt in a fight when he could simply shoot it?
it was probably a compact gun that he had on him .380's are very popular concealed carry guns as you can throw them in your front pocket of a pair of jeans and not give away youre carrying...I dont see him jogging with a full sized pistol so that would be my assumption

LOL, now you're getting it.

Meh not bad. I regularly carry my Micro Uzi 9mm and have took out a few ducks that have crossed my path while bird watching.
-
Bozo's like Gov Perry always travel with a SWAT Team ya never know when someone from the Mexican Mob will try to take you out. i'm certain the the SWAT team nailed the animal and they all had a big fuckin laugh about it

LOL!!!! Aren't you the "guy" whining like a bitch at the military because your "girl" was smiling at cool and handsome Marines?
Epic effemination.

I carry a bazooka, a grenade belt and and a compound bow with explosive tipped arrows.

I change side when I see girlscouts walking down the street.

No.
I told a story about how an Army guy walked up and grabbed a female friend of mine's ass.
So I ran up to him and punched him in the head 5 times and he was all fucked up.
Get the story straight sucker.
That was a few years ago though.
-

If a see a little Shitsu or Datsun i'll do battle. If they are at least 50 yards aways from me.
But i'm too afraid of those big dogs. They might hurt me :-\
-
Should quite epic. Lots of stuff that has been burning my tongue for a while now. Will be nice to talk with a pro communicator with bridge building skills for a change.
Godspeed to OFF TOPIC.

It's a rough fit but I like said it's just my play gun that I abused. I have some skate board tape on the front and back of the grip so I don't get a slippage.

Coyotes aren't that big - a warning shot might have scared it away and he could have always picked up the puppy - only my 2 cents.

I kept it around to keep in touch.. not sure there's a point... it was more like a 10 minutes experiment ;D....
I'm thinking about something a little bigger right now, not bodybuilding related at all but very social and dynamic in content..

LOL of course you did ::)
I know that you think alpha male behavior consists of cussing at women online and shooting dogs with guns. But some of us aren't afraid the get into real fights when we need to.
Breaking News. We aren't all big pussys like you.
I'm not a violent guy though really. But when a dude crosses my path like that i'm not gonna do nothing.
