Source: Nathan Deal to veto Georgia’s ‘campus carry’ legislation | Political Insider blog

Quote:
Gov. Nathan Deal will veto legislation Tuesday that would allow college students to carry concealed guns onto campuses after lawmakers defied his personal request for changes that would make exceptions to the gun rights expansion, according to a source with direct knowledge of the decision.

...

Long an opponent of the measure, Deal said in February that fears that campus carry would lead to a “Wild West scenario” were overblown. But shortly after the measure passed, Deal sent hand-written notes to House Speaker David Ralston and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle urging them to exempt on-campus child care facilities, faculty or administrative office space and disciplinary meetings in a separate measure. Both declined to make changes, and Deal was soon deluged with personal appeals from Georgians on all sides of the debate.

“Admittedly, it’s another tough decision. Would I have preferred they not put that on my plate (without the changes he advocated)? Yes, I would have preferred that,” he said in an interview before the veto. “But they did. And I have to come, once again, to doing what I think is in the best interest of all the citizens of the state.”

I'm very glad he vetoed this. BUT, Cagle and Ralston will be livid - no telling how much damage they will attempt to inflict upon us next Legislature.

Dammit, was looking forward to us finally keeping all those drunk stupid party kids safe by giving them handheld f@cking instant killing machines! And so were their professors! A shame! Everyone's gonna die, now.

Wow, loving me some Gov. Deal in 2016.
