WV: Legislature Overrides Governor Tomblin's Veto. Constitutional Carry Becomes Law

The West Virginia legislature did not waste any time in overriding Governor Tomblin's veto of HB 4145, also known as "Constitutional carry" or permitless carry. Governor Tomblin vetoed a similar bill in 2015, but the veto occurred after the legislature had adjourned, making a veto override difficult.

This year, the Constitutional carry bill was passed early enough for the legislature to vote on a veto override if necessary. Governor Tomblin received the Constitutional carry bill on 26 February. He waited to the last possible day to veto it, 3 March. The House of Delegates overrode his veto on 4 March, and the Senate completed the override on 5 March.

Way to sack up there W.VA. Kinda like take this veto and shove it. Now if we could just get other states to follow suit. Oh, Dean, you seem to have gotten a little ahead of yourself as you have the article dated for tomorrow. :>)

I think it is the Australian time zone difference. Gun Watch is run on Australian Time, so it is across the International Date line.
