Governor Vetoes Concealed Carry Bill





Lawmakers in Wisconsin, one of only four states that bans concealed weapons, will vote as early as this week on whether to override Gov. Jim Doyle’s veto of a concealed carry bill. The state’s Senate passed the bill with a 28-5 vote, but Doyle—as he said he would—vetoed the bill on Friday. Sen. Dave Zien, R-Eau Claire, says Republicans have the votes to override. The bill would allow those who pass a firearms training course and obtain a permit to carry concealed guns, as well as knives, electric shock defense mechanisms and clubs. The governor vetoed a similar bill in 2003, and has said he is confident his veto will not be overridden.
