Lupe Valdez misplaced her service weapon in December of 2017 when she resigned from her position as Sheriff of Dallas County to\u00a0make a bid for governor of Texas. (Photo: Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Texas gubernatorial candidate Lupe Valdez is in a bit of a pickle right now. The Democrat, who is hoping to take down incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott (R) this fall, misplaced her service pistol, local media reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valdez apparently lost track of her Beretta 9mm in December of 2017 when she was transitioning from her role as publicly-elected sheriff of Dallas County to private citizen running for governor. As part of the move, she was required to return the handgun to the county.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Dallas County Sheriff\u2019s Office issued a report about the missing firearm fearing it may have been used in the commission of a crime.<\/p>\n

This week a spokesperson for the Valdez campaign told The Dallas Morning News<\/a> that the candidate is working with investigators to \u201clocate the firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n

“As mentioned in the [police] report, it is possible that this weapon could have been stolen or misplaced during Sheriff Valdez’s moving transition and she is working with the Dallas County Sheriff Department to locate the firearm,” said spokesman Juan Bautista Dominguez.<\/p>\n

Valdez may have an out if it\u2019s discovered that the gun was lost after she turned it over to the department. However, Dominguez offered no comment about whether it went missing on her watch.<\/p>\n

Complicating matters for Valdez is that she openly supports gun control<\/a>. In the past, she\u2019s championed criminalizing private transfers, banning certain magazines, and has opposed expanding campus carry on Texas universities. All of which has earned her support from the anti-gun lobby.<\/p>\n

The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the gun-control organization fronted by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), endorsed Valdez for governor in May.<\/p>\n

“Law enforcement and first responders like Sheriff Valdez know how a firearm ending up in the wrong hands can lead to tragedy,\u201d said Giffords. “Sheriff Valdez also knows that both law enforcement and elected officials play a pivotal role in keeping our communities safe from gun violence.”<\/p>\n

In what might be the understatement of the year, the optics of the situation are tr\u00e8s mal for Valdez. And, it didn\u2019t take long for Gov. Abbott\u2019s team to take note.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Lupe Valdez can\u2019t keep track of her own gun, she can\u2019t be trusted running the state of Texas,\u201d said Gov. Abbott on Twitter Wednesday, above a video montage of media members discussing the faux pas.<\/p>\n

Just to get things straight.\u00a0 Valdez is an anti-gun Democrat running for to become the next governor of Texas.\u00a0 Texas<\/em>!\u00a0 She is a former CLEO who lost her service weapon.\u00a0 Call me crazy but I don’t see a major political victory in her future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
