Clay1 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I just received this in my email and it makes me happy for Kansas and sad that I live in Wisconsin. I thought that I would share: "Today the House of the Kansas legislature overrode Governor Sebelius' veto of the Personal and Family Protection act shall-issue concealed carry bill by a vote of 91 to 33. This follows a veto override vote in the Kansas state Senate yesterday in which members voted 31 to 10 to override the governor's veto. Kansas is now the 38th shall-issue state, and the 47th state to have some provision for carrying weapons for self defense. The lone states that completely prohibit concealed carry are now Nebraska, Illinois...and Wisconsin. As I mentioned in my last email, though, things are looking very good for Nebraska, as the votes are there to pass and the governor is anxious to sign the bill. Passage could come some time this year. What's the difference between Kansas and Nebraska and Wisconsin? Two words: Jim Doyle. Or, to be more precise, Jim Doyle and the anti-gunners in the legislature whose strings he pulls. We are not going to get concealed carry in Wisconsin as long as Jim Doyle is governor. His power over the leadership in his party is simply too great. If he is re-elected this fall, we're going to see a repeat of the flip-flops by members of his party on veto override votes. And there's no way that Governor Doyle will not veto concealed carry. When it comes to gun control, Jim Doyle is a True Believer. Governor Doyle is also a money machine. He's raking in contributions from road builders, energy companies, indian casinos, and other special interests that stand to make millions in profits from his policies. To counter Doyle's fund-raising, we must raise funds to help defeat him. Asking for contributions is difficult. But it's necessary if we're to become a Free State when it comes to self defense. So, please consider a contribution of however much you can afford to give to our political action committee, the WCCM. Every dollar of your contribution will go to pro-gun candidates for governor, attorney general, senate and assembly. You can contribute via PayPal by going to our site at http://www.wisconsinconcealedcarry.org. Or you can send a check by mail to: WCCM, 3263 S. 45th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53219. Haven't you had enough of Jim Doyle and his anti-gun cronies? If so, what are you prepared to do about it? Thanks, Dick Baker Treasurer, WCCA, WCCM"
Front Man Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 As far as I know you can carry open in every county but Douglas County in Nebraska. I miss that! FM
glockster96 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) As far as I know you can carry open in every county but Douglas County in Nebraska.I miss that! FM HOO RAH!! Thanks for the congrats. I can hardly wait for July when I can FINALLY legally carry a concealed firearm*. *-It should not be construed from the above posting that I have carried a concealed weapon in Kansas in the past, because that would have been illegal.
