Our wonderful (D) Governor, Jim “Veto” Doyle, has once again vetoed a bill.
This time it happened to be a piece of legislation that the people of Wisconsin want, that a democrat actually sponsored, that 46 other states have, and that the US Constitution and the Wi. State Constitution both allow.
It passed the state legislature and then was promptly vetoed by the Gov.
An override was passed in the state senate and now the thing hangs in the state assembly, one vote short of an override. One of the Democrats voting against the bill (veto override) is the actual sponsor of the bill himself. Huh??
Here is the Journal Story. , in case you`re interested.
The real reason for the thread is this;
I havent heard one good reason why a non-felon, properly instructed, over the age of 21, registered gun owner shouldnt be allowed to carry a concealed weapon (CW). Remember, that if the law passed there would be a plethora of places that CWs would be banned, like schools, churches, govnt buildings, banks, bars, etc., and any place that posts a "no gun" sign. Anyone with a permit would have to pay the fee, take the 20 some hour training course, not be a felon, register the weapon, follow the tight guidlines of the law, etc. Our beloved Constitution allows us to keep and bear arms, but we just cant take them with us when we move about, why?
