Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on Friday vetoed a bill that would have eliminated criminal penalties for carrying concealed firearms without a permit (SB347), his office announced.
In a statement, Tomblin said, “Throughout my career, I have strongly supported the Second Amendment, as demonstrated by my repeated endorsements and high grades from the National Rifle Association. However, I must also be responsive to the apprehension of law enforcement officers from across the state, who have concerns about the bill as it relates to the safety of their fellow officers.”

So now it's official, as announced by the governor: West Virginia is a police state.
The rights of the people are secondary to the safety of law enforcement officers.
It just goes to prove that political party means nothing. Republican Tomblin joins with Democrat Manchin and Democrat/Republican/Independent (whatever works) Bloomberg to relegate the people to second place behind the police.
You know about the Kennedy, Bush and Cuomo dynasties. Do you also know about the Manchin dynasty?

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
