Governor's Veto Upheld

Once again, the state's 133 year ban on concealed weapons has been upheld. If any of you, like me, are dancing in the streets over this, and would like to thank the two Democratic Representatives who changed their votes and supported the Governor's veto, here is their contact information from the latest WI Blue Book:

John Steinbrink 65th Assembly District Room 307 West, State Capitol, P.O. Box 8953, Madison, WI 53708 Phone: Office: 608.266.0455 District: 262694.5863
email: Rep.Steinbrink@legis.state.wi.us


Terry Van Akkeren 26th Assembly District Room 220 North, State Capitol, P.O. Box 8953, Madison, WI 53708
Phone: Office: 608.266.0656 District: 920.458.4398

Thanks for posting that LoLo....

It was a surprise that the veto was upheld and it looked very grim right up until the last moment.

I understand that what changed the mind of one of the Democrats was the hubris of our old friend Senator Zein, who promised to amend the Personal Protection Act, (pretty fancy name for concealed carry, eh?)immediately upon its passage to make it less restrictive. How's that for irony?

Thanks again LoLo!
