Gov. Nikki Haley, R-S.C., and her Christmas present are scoring political points with Second Amendment supporters. The Republican posted to Twitter and Instagram a picture of her brand new gun. "Our family had a wonderful Christmas together!" the governor wrote. "I must have been good Santa gave me a Beretta PX7 Storm."

According to the Beretta website, that particular gun retails for $575. "It's compact and controllable design accommodates plainclothes operations, home defense, or a day at the range," a description on the website read.

Conservative site Twitchy first made note of the gun gift, headlining a story about it "Score! Santa gave Nikki Haley a Christmas gift that will make libs freak out."
