He thought that Texas gun owners might be impressed that he owns a Springfield 9mm and a shotgun. He also thought they might forget that he was aligned with Mayor Michael Bloomberg&#8217;s Mayors Against Illegal Guns until 2009. That was when he sought his first statewide office and was running against a pro-gun Democrat.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>White says he quit because the group opposed a federal law that would have allowed conceal-carry permit holders to carry their firearms across state lines.<\/p>\n<p>Perry spokesman Mark Miner questioned White&#8217;s reason for leaving the group, saying he only quit after he caught flak from pro-gun Democrat John Sharp when both were running for the U.S. Senate. White&#8217;s name had appeared earlier on a letter opposing the expansion of rights for conceal-carry permit holders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s totally lying,&#8221; Miner said. &#8220;He is anti-gun and he&#8217;ll do anything including lying to try to get elected.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nUnfortunately for Mayor White, he is running against Rick Perry who not only has a concealed carry permit but used his Ruger LCP to kill a coyote that was threatening his daughter&#8217;s Labrador Retriever pup.<\/p>\n<p>Perry is rated A+ by the NRA and has been endorsed by the Texas State Rifle Association.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;He (White) went outside of the state of Texas and aligned himself with out-of-state mayors for heaven sakes,&#8221; said Alice Tripp, legislative director of the Texas State Rifle Association.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nI guess that about says it all.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat running for governor could find simply owning a gun isn&#8217;t enough for Texas voters&nbsp; Bill White, Mayor of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4692,4689,492,2735,604],"class_list":["post-5419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bill-white","tag-governor","tag-gun-rights","tag-rick-perry","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5419"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5508,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5419\/revisions\/5508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
