Not a presidential candidate, but Mike Foster, former governor of LA, was quoted in the NY Times as saying he was armed and prepared to protect his own life.

Guns was about the only thing Mike Foster was good on as Governor of Louisiana. He signed Louisiana’s CCW bill.

His assault weapon ban was “not going to be popular with the NRA,” he said at the time. He was right.

Huckabee would be a disaster on other issues, like immigration.

John Cox, a longshot candidate on the GOP side, is a Lifetime member of the NRA, and is a solid conservative alternative some should look at for those who want to cut government, and end the IRS by going with the FairTax.

A likely CCW holder. Didn’t Rick Perry from TX also have a CCW?

Second Amendment and abortion enthusiasts tend to get screwed because they focus solely on that single plank within the candidate’s platform and lose site of the bigger picture.

I also have a single plank I care about: less government.

It’s great that he made it into Mens Health’s Belly Off Club, but he can go screw himself.

His economic policies are enough to drive me away from him.

Mike Huckabee is a Southerner and a lifelong hunter. He is also the only Governor with his own CWP and supports the Castle Doctrine. Huckabee understands that the second ammendment is vitally important and has been an ardent opponent of gun control. Check this link:
