Heard his commercial today. And while I am glad he supports the right to keep and bear arms, what the heck does his packing have to do with Texas Land Commissioner?

Quoted: Could be a Survival Forum Arfcommer....see the G-shock? Looks like a Timex Ironman. From his site: http://www.votepatterson.com/about.html Jerry Patterson was born in Houston, Texas on November 15, 1946. He graduated from Texas A&M, Class of 1969 and received his commission in the United States Marine Corps. Volunteering for duty in Vietnam in 1972, Patterson was later designated as a Naval Flight Officer and served in Marine fighter squadrons until his retirement from the Marine Corps Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1993. Five consecutive generations of Patterson’s family have served our nation in time of war. As state senator for District 11 (Harris, Galveston, Brazoria), Patterson’s major legislative successes include passage of the historic concealed handgun law, a constitutional amendment allowing home equity lending, the state coastal management plan and the creation of the Texas State Veterans Home Program. A tireless advocate for his fellow veterans, he chaired the first Veterans Affairs committee in the Texas Senate. Since his election as Texas Land Commissioner in 2002, Patterson has modernized and revitalized the Texas General Land Office, the oldest agency in Texas. He has diversified and increased the Permanent School Fund, made Texas a renewable energy leader, protected state lands and overseen the greatest expansion of veterans benefits since World War II. Jerry resides in Austin and has four children, twins Samantha and Cole, born in 2004, and Emily and Travis. His daughter Emily is an attorney working in Kosovo for an agency funded,in part, by the U.S. State Department. His son Travis is a graduate of Texas A&M, where he was commissioned as a Marine Lieutenant. Travis recently returned from serving his 2nd tour of duty in Iraq as a U.S. Marine attack helicopter pilot. |

Crappy grip, bad trigger discipline. Carries a Kimber. Signs of bad judgement?

The finish has been so weak on my Kimbers that its mostly rubbed off the contact areas within a few months of carrying. If he really does carry it on a daily basis, I bet he hasn't been doing it for very long. |

Many people (myself included) consider gun control to be a reliable "litmus test" of how the candidate conducts himself in other political areas. As a pro-gun Land Commissioner, he should be amenable to the opening and maintaining of public shooting areas. An anti-gun Land Commissioner will be just the opposite, and use his/her power to close down existing ranges, and deny use permits for new ranges and shooting areas. |

An anti-gun Land Commissioner will be just the opposite, and use his/her power to close down existing ranges, and deny use permits for new ranges and shooting areas. Yep. L. Neil Smith called it a "Vulcan mind-meld". 
"Make no mistake: all politicians –– even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership –– hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician –– or political philosophy –– can be put."
"If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash –– for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything –– without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you." "If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims." "What his attitude –– toward your ownership and use of weapons –– conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him? If he doesn't want you to have the means of defending your life, do you want him in a position to control it?" — Novelist L. Neil Smith, Why Did it Have to be ... Guns? |

Jerry Patterson is one of the gun owner's best friends in Texas. He has guns in his office, regularly carries (albeit a .22 derringer) in the Capitol, and if he could get an A+++++++++ rating from the NRA and/or TSRA he would get it. Texans have a CHL law because of him. -p. |
