Buck Up, Bucky Badger

The Wisconsin Legislature's attempt to override Governor Doyle's veto of a concealed carry reform law failed yesterday.

By one vote.

DC from Brainstorming - Shot in the Dark's favorite cheeseblogger - says:

I'm annoyed with people who disregard facts.....No......misrepresent facts......because they believe they are elite, and know what is best for us "little people".
Welcome to life in Minnesota, until last year. Get used to it.

It took Concealed Carry Reform Now seven years to get the Minnesota Personal Protection Act passed. In 2001 and 2002, we actually had all the votes lined up to pass the bill - but Senate majority leader Moe bottled it up in DFL-controlled Senate committees until it died. It wasn't until we controlled the House, got a more moderate Senate, and got Tim Pawlenty in office (who, unlike Ventura, was actually committed to reforming the law for Minnesotans who weren't sitting governors) to get things changed.

Hang in there.
