Yay!!!
Republican legislators overwhelmingly overrode Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of a GOA-backed Constitutional Carry bill (SB 656) -- legislation which protects the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns without first getting a permit.
On Wednesday, Democrats tried to hijack the House floor to demand a vote on Government Watch list legislation. But Republicans refused to grant unanimous consent, and shut down Democrats’ efforts at passing gun control ... for now.
No doubt, anti-gun Democrats will keep trying. Remember that they already staged a sit-in on the House floor in June, demanding more gun restrictions. And similar efforts were attempted in the Senate.
“Law-abiding citizens should not have to ask for permission to exercise a constitutionally-protected right,. That’s the beauty of Constitutional Carry, it honors the Second Amendment which says the right to keep and BEAR arms ‘shall not be infringed.’”

We something juat like that in California. But our governor and legislators are jackasses.
Yes, it's time we all stand up for our rights.
Ca. isn't doing themselves any favours with all the BS restrictions and high taxes. Texas gained loads of Ca. companies looking for lower taxes and that put Texans in good paying jobs and Californians in the unemployment lines...
Sad..
I know what you mean. I used to purchase Valero fuel, a good and cheap brand, but about two years ago CA in it infinite lack of wisdom legislated that company out of the state people loosing their jobs. As far as the 2A issue goes we have a grass roots movement happening as we type called Veto Gunmagedon to stop all the damn bills Governor Jerry Brown sign in to effect. What and asshole, on the Friday of the 4th of July weekend with out the revision of an oversight committee or nothing like that.
