Texas Gov. Rick Perry will visit gun manufacturer Beretta USA Wednesday during his trip to entice Maryland companies to move to the Lone Star State. Later in the day, Perry will square off on television with the governor whose state he came to criticize. A Perry aide called the Beretta visit a "long-standing appointment" that coincides with the Republican governor's visit and $500,000 advertising campaign that knocks Maryland's business climate and takes a swipe at the taxes raised during the tenure of Maryland Gov.
