Today, March 3 2016, Gov. Tomblin VETOED HB4145. Bloomberg's Minions have been bombarding the airwaves with lies and running full-page adds in WV papers urging pressure on Legislators to NOT over ride the veto.

HB4145 has been carefully structured to NOT allow criminals free rein to carry weapons in WV - in fact the bill establishes ENHANCED penalties for criminals caught possessing arms in WV. Bloomberg's Minions don't CARE about the truth, they only want to trample the will of our people to regain some of their freedoms.

NOW IS THE TIME: West Virginians, call email FAX your State Senator(s) and Delegate in the WV House urging them to stand with their original overwhelming support of HB4145 and VOTE TO OVER RIDE GOVERNOR TOMBLIN'S VETO.
 

I like how the people of WV ask the government for permission to use their rights.



BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Today, March 4 2016, the House of Delegates voted to override Gov. Tomblin’s veto on HB 4145 by a 64-34 vote.

Tomorrow, March 5, at 9:00am, the West Virginia Senate will convene to consider a final vote to override Governor Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto of NRA-endorsed House Bill 4145.

WEST VIRGINIANS: Please contact your state senator IMMEDIATELY and urge him or her to vote to override Governor Tomblin’s veto of HB 4145.

BRIEFLY, this bill means that if you are a US Citizen or a Legal Resident of the US and you can legally own a gun under Federal and West Virginia law, then you can carry that pistol or revolver concealed in West Virginia - no fee, no permission slip from ANY government. HB4145 is backed by Article 3, Section 22 of the West Virginia Constitution. If, on the other hand, a "prohibited person" carries a gun in the commission of a crime, their sentence will be ENHANCED (lengthened). IF it happened to be a DRUG crime, the "ENHANCEMENT" doubles.

Only a simple majority is required to over ride this veto. Barring too much of a final last-ditch delaying tactic by the 'loyal opposition' the result should be known by noon March 5 2016.

STAY TUNED.

VETO Overridden, 23 -11. HB4145 becomes effective 90 days "after passage" (there seems to be some confusion on exactly what the "passage" date is).
Well look at that, a state showing respect for individual's rights. Refreshing.
