Senate overrides concealed weapons bill veto
Madison - The state Senate voted today to override a veto by Gov. Jim Doyle of bill to legalize the carrying of concealed weapons, putting the measure one step away from law and setting up a showdown in the Assembly.
The vote, 23 to 10, was above the two-thirds necessary to override the veto. Now, the bill heads to the Assembly, where the prospects for an override are still unclear.
In December, the bill passed the 99-member Assembly 64 to 32, a thin, veto-proof margin. A Republican was missing from that vote and a seat open at the time has been filled by a Republican.
After the Senate vote, Rep. Scott Gunderson (R-Waterford), one of the bill's authors, said he believed those who had originally supported the bill - a tally that included six Aseembly Democrats - would continue to back it. Democratic leaders have said they will have enough votes to sustain Doyle's veto.
