Mayor White was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition,[12] a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition is co-chaired by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. White resigned from the group in July 2009. White's staff said that the group's focus had grown from its original effort to prevent the sale of stolen guns. Regarding a recent proposal to allow those with concealed gun permits to carry them into other states, White's staff added that he resigned the day that the group took out a newspaper advertisement denouncing that proposal.

Personally, I like Perry. I align with a lot of his positions on key issues (although not all of them); but the one thing for sure is he has been very pro-gun throughout his terms as governor. You can't help but like that!

Take that as you'd like, but this was only a few months before he announced his intent of running for governor.
