Loomis1228 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Who cares? Who says that you have a hunting license to own a or shoot a gun? COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) — Fred Thompson has made a point of visiting gun shops and gun shows while hitting the campaign trail in New Hampshire and South Carolina, usually with camera crews in tow. But Thompson said Wednesday he does not have a hunting license, nor has be been hunting recently. "It's been too long, it's been too long," Thompson told CNN Wednesday. Asked if he has a hunting license, Thompson said he currently does not. "At the present time I do not, but I have been hunting plenty of times. I usually hunt birds and used to have my own skeet shoot, and I got a chance to shoot and practice a lot back then." Thompson, an ardent defender of Second Amendment rights, was appearing in Columbia to pick up the endorsement of South Carolina Citizens for Life. Just yesterday, Thompson appeared at Blue Ridge Shooting Sports in Greer, South Carolina where he handled a gun and said he is "pretty much a shotgun man these days." Thompson also visited the Land and Sky Gun Show in Ladsen, South Carolina in late November, proclaiming it "a beautiful day in paradise." At the CNN/YouTube debate on November 28, Thompson was asked if he owns a gun. "I own a couple of guns, but I'm not going to tell you what they are or where they are," he said. Thompson said Wednesday he wished he had more time to go hunting. "It seems like other things seem to be getting in its way," he said. cnn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Seems logical to me. If I knew I wasn't going to have time to hunt (which I probably wouldn't if I were running for president), why would I bother to buy a license?

If I knew I wasn't going to have time to hunt (which I probably wouldn't if I were running for president), why would I bother to buy a license? Makes good sense to me too. Wonder if Huckabee has his license, I know he was at the opryland hotel for the nwtf convention when we were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 huckabee is indeed coming on strong. and the liberal media is fully behind him. he does have a lot of negatives out there, which the media will expose when the time is right. he's a middle of the road governor. now, he campains as a right wing conservative. be careful.
