AP up to their old tricks. It must be difficult to say "hotly contested" with a straight face when it passed both houses of the legislature with more than two to one margins.

Can his veto be overridden?

Can his veto be overridden?

I think there will be an attempt to do so.

“Republican House Speaker Becky Lockhart has said the bill is veto-proof because it won two-thirds of House and Senate votes.”

A gun is considered unloaded in Utah if there's no round in the chamber.

just a clarification...

Why would you want to carry a hidden, unloaded gun?

How is this a defeat?

“House Speaker Rebecca Lockhart, a Provo Republican, said it’s not clear if there’s enough support among lawmakers for an override...

“People are on record on this issue,” she said. “But a veto override is a pretty serious thing. It’s nothing that we’re going to rush into.”

Weenies!

Yeah, for sure. What’s this law about anyway? Can’t quite see the purpose....

allowed Utah residents to carry a hidden, unloaded gun without a permit

Huh? What kind of dumb idea is that?

If Utah is that anti-gun, Feinstein has a right to be mad at Reid.

Here in TX we once had a Governor who thought she knew what was best for us. No concealed weapons for you, she dictated. Next election ol bitch Ann Richards was defeated. I was sure glad to see her go.

Utah’s definition of unloaded is essentially “no round in the chamber” for semi-autos, and “no round under the hammer plus two mechanical actions required to fire” for revolvers.

Let us hope and pray the veto is over-ridden.

May as well outlaw rocks...An unloaded gun in your pocket is no more effective than a rock in the other pocket...One is just as lethal as the other...

Ahhh those were the days, weren't they? When the nation and the majority of its citizens still seemed to make some sense.

What's the point of carrying an unloaded gun? You'd be better off carrying a concealed pipe wrench.
