Notice to bad guys: Governor is packing heat -- even at home in L.A.

CONAN.JPGGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is what some might call a "gun nut," or maybe more precisely, a "weapons nut." He told the Los Angeles Times that he has plenty of fire power in his home, not to mention a few swords, axes and spears. Here's what he told the Times' Evan Halper:

"Remember how many law enforcement people I have played and military people I have {played]. I was the Terminator, with the gun that with one hand you cock and spin. All those things I have."

Halper asked if Schwarzenegger has all those weapons in his house.

"No, no. Not all in the home," Schwarzenegger said. "We have some weapons at home."

Ok. Now I'm picturing the governor, just for fun, of course, pulling on the "Conan the Barbarian" outfit and striking a pose in his Los Angeles neighborhood. This could be how he slays the state's $14 billion budget deficit. Head into the Capitol with spear in hand. That'll make the special interests cower.
