Wyoming Gov Vetoes Bill Allowing People To Carry Concealed Guns In Schools And Legislative Meetings

ABC News reports:

Wyoming Republican Gov. Mark Gordon has vetoed a bill that would have allowed people to carry concealed guns in public schools and government meetings. In his veto letter Friday night, Gordon said he had concerns the bill would exceed the separation of powers provision in the state constitution since any policy, further regulation or clarification of the law could only be implemented by the Legislature.

Concealed firearms would have been allowed with a permit in public schools and at the University of Wyoming and community colleges in areas not serving alcohol.

Supporters said continuing to not allow guns in schools and meetings infringes on their Second Amendment rights.
