Gov. Wolf vetoes bill allowing permitless concealed carry of firearms in Pennsylvania
Gov. Tom Wolf has vetoed a bill that would have allowed anyone over the age of 18 who can legally own a firearm to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
It also would have repealed a state law that banned the open carrying of firearms in Philadelphia.
In his veto message, the Democratic governor said the bill would “only exacerbate gun violence and jeopardize the safety of all Pennsylvanians.”
The bill, a top priority for gun rights groups, zoomed through the Republican-controlled General Assembly last month. It passed the Senate 29-21 in early November, and the House 107-92 two weeks ago.

to stop Wolf from ever vetoing anything? Well, I'm sure they'll get around to it soon enough.
