The people of Illinois have spoken, but thats not good enough for the scumbag govenor

Illinois governor vetoes parts of concealed carry gun bill | Reuters

So you can't carry more than one concealed gun on you at a time? What happens if you're in a gunfight and you need a second gun as a backup? I usually carry at least 3 or 4 .50 Desert Eagles on me at one time just to be sure that I have some reasonable margin of safety...

From the article...

Looks like the veto could be overruled...quite easily.

Nope. It can't be overruled at all. The Session is over and everyone has been dismissed.

Gov. Perry recently did the same thing in Texas. Republicans held up a number of Bills (18 of them) until the last minute and they were presented to Perry for signing during the last hour of the session. All of the Bills had passed with enough votes to override Perry's veto.

So he vetoed the Bills and dismissed the Ledge.

And that was that! Eighteen Bills that had been passed by a wide margin of both the House and the Senate were vetoed and there is no way for the veto to be overridden. This way Republicans can say they voted for this or that and not have to mention that it was the Republican Governor that killed the Bill.

And during special sessions Perry has called no business can be conducted unless it is bought up by him, so again... No chance to override his vetos.

So... Is this type of behavior still a Scumbag thing to do or just a wise way for Republicans to control our lives despite what the elected members have voted on?

10th Amendment comes into play. Let Illinois come up with laws and regulations that best fit Illinois by whatever legislative process is acceptable to the people of Illinois. Good for them.

Agreed...wholeheartedly.

Holy crud; we agree!

...and as for denying concealed carry in some establishments which serve alcohol, for the life of me I cannot understand why anyone in their right mind would support such a notion, as firearm possession and alcohol consumption seem to work so well together. What next, the passage of laws in Illinois prohibiting drunk driving? Bunch of pansies.

most states CCP allow for carry in say, a restaurant that also serves liquor. Most also prohibit intoxication of CCP holders who choose to carry. I am assuming this is a similar provision in the IL legislation. Most states do not allow CC in actuals bars...

Sounds like something similar to what one of Texas past scumbag governors, Ann Richards did. Ca. 1990 or so, the Texas congress put forth a bill to provide a referendum that would allow Texas voters to decide whether or not to have a CCW law.

The silver haired witch(spelled with a B) would not allow it to go to the voters for a decision. Not only did this fly in the face of right to bear arms, it DENIED the voting public the opportunity to decide.

The hypocracy on her part was that as Governor she could legally carry a firearm and DID. Same kind of hypocracy as that other witch, Diane Frankenstein.

I'm glad that witch got run out of Austin.

BTW, Texas CCW does not allow carry in establishments that recieve more than 51% of their revenue from alcohol sales.

Annoy a Liberal, Read the Constitution

Thank the gods that Ann Richards is dead. Molly Ivins too....

Anyone whose politics I disagree with is a witch spelled with a B and a scumbag. And some other bad names too.
