Perry unwinds at the shooting range

For Rick Perry, that outlet could be found at the Palmetto State Armory here, where he made a late-morning stop to fire off a few (extremely accurate) rounds at a target.

After spending about 15 minutes in the range, Perry showed off his target to reporters with the holes closely clustered in the head and chest. He fired two guns, a 9-mm Ruger SR-9 and an AR-15 manufactured by the Palmetto State Armory.

He adorned the target with the name of the range, his signature, and the word he has said represents his campaign: "Freedom!"

Was he picturing one of his opponents? The world will never know. When reporter Jay Root from the Texas Tribune asked whose face was on the target in his mind, Perry simply responded, "not you."

Afterwards, he grabbed a cheeseburger (with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayonnaise and mustard) at Five Guys in Bluffton, S.C., where he ate with South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a supporter, and Katon Dawson, his top advisor in the state.
