Rick Perry may have a new secret weapon in his arsenal for next year's Massachusetts Republican Primary: his skill at shooting coyotes.
In an interview this week in Parade Magazine, Perry confirms his 2010 claim that he shot a coyote that was menacing his puppy during a run near Austin. Perry reportedly used his .380 Ruger, loaded with hollow-point bullets, which he carries on runs for protection from snakes.
If the recent local uproar over coyote-pet incidents continues much longer, Perry may have coyotes (and his success at... intervening) to thank for an unexpectedly strong Primary showing in Newton and nearby coyote-ridden towns.

My girlfriend and I were driving home to Newton tonight -- when we saw a Coyote running wild through the streets of Watertown (right off of Galen Street behind Vows Bridal Outlet). It looked just like the "Eastern Coyote" -- and was very energetic and wild -- running down the street and then darting into people's front lawns and then jumping back out into the street. Quite a sight to see!
