If the Lawmakers WANT to over-ride the veto, they can. It would require a two-thirds majority vote by each chamber to reconvene before the current Legislature expires at midnight Tuesday. They have the votes to do it if they WANT to do it. Whether or not they want to is key.

We Pennsylvanians live in a paradise with wonderful neighbors but we’re bookended by three blighted urban areas. I lived in a lot of places but here is where I want to live.

I voted for Corbett and I support him for his stand on Castle Doctrine.

But, we’re OK without it. Read this, the Pennsylvania Constitution, Article I, Section 21: Section 21.

The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
We haven’t had a self-defense shooting wrongful prosecution in over 20 years, maybe longer.

If the incoming Republican governor and legislative majorities elect to vote in the Castle Doctrine next year, Fast Eddie's veto is probably moot then.
Only mischief it might work is if a relevant case were to arise before then.
