Hard to believe Governor Bullock(read BS) signed this as he vetoed Constitutional Permitless Carry and also vetoed our Right to carry in a dining establishment that serves alcohol. I wrote him about his first veto and he replied he did not want to infere with the permitting processes run by the County SHeriffs. In turn I replied his veto of our Rights & Natural law, then using the Sheriffs as an excuse is known as a “cop out.”.
