Looks like soon to be former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius has once again vetoed shall issue CCW legislation. Looks like the override may be tough but:

Overriding the veto would take two-thirds of both the House and Senate: 84 House members and 27 senators. Last week, the House approved the bill 90-33. The Senate passed the bill last month 29-11.

It passed with enough to override but there’s question about whether or not those that voted for it would support an override.

Update: Her veto statement:

I support the Second Amendment and the right of our citizens to keep and bear arms. It’s an important part of our heritage and way of life in Kansas, and I’ve upheld that right as Gov.. All law-abiding Kansans have the right to own a weapon to provide for their protection and the protection of their families.

I do not think that means what you think it means.

Last year, I signed a bill to allow retired law enforcement officers, who have unique experience and special training, to carry concealed weapons.

Like you and me, only better. There’s more.
