Hutchison pines for her handgun
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "She may be able to hang a giant Lone Star flag outside her office, but Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Thursday there's one part of her Texas culture she couldn't bring to the nation's capital -- her handgun.
Hutchison said she didn't know when she arrived from Austin in 1993 that the District of Columbia prohibits keeping a fully assembled handgun in the home. The district's ban has been in place since 1975.
Hutchison, a Republican who is considering a 2006 run for Texas governor, introduced legislation Thursday to lift the ban. If the bill passes she said she would keep a gun in her D.C. home.
Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and George Allen, R-Va., are co-sponsors.
'I have always had a handgun in the drawer next to my bed, and I would certainly again have one if it were legal in D.C.,' Hutchison said.
Her office said her handgun is a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver."
She's a big, bad mama. Maybe she should run for Governor. If Bill Clements and Clayton Williams think it's a bad idea, I love it.
