Levi Johnston shot himself at the Teen Choice Awards. With a Vivitar

After taking aim (at himself, of course) with a Vivitar twist & shoot HD digital video cam at the Teen Choice Moroccanoil Celebrity Gift Retreat, Levi Johnston has now fired the first shot in his campaign to become mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

And what better place to start than a gun store.

Stopping into Wasilla's Chimo Guns with a camera crew for his reality TV show tentatively titled "Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office", TMZ reports that Levi posed for photos and talked with employees about hunting. 

To those of you who may be suspicious of Levi's political motives, his manager, Tank Jones has some words for you. "People questioned Jesus Christ," Tank told Radaronline recently. "So I definitely don't care about these mere mortals questioning Levi Johnston. If you live in a town and things are happening in that town, and you're displeased with it, what do you do? You try to change those things."

And what better way to change things for the better than by bringing along a camera crew?

Ironically, Levi's new Vivitar video cam will enable him to film himself everywhere he goes. What hath Vivitar wrought?
