Anyone know what day is the final day for the RINO to either sign or not sign?

Anyone know what day is the final day for the RINO to either sign or not sign?

K.F. gave an approximate timing of 10 days: https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/nra-constitutional-carry-update.517740/page-6#post-9086784

Anyone know what day is the final day for the RINO to either sign or not sign?

Seven days after he receives it. It has to be signed by the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate (aka Lt. Gov) and then it goes to Holcomb

At this writing, the Speaker has signed it.

How long is the session? Can he veto at the last second and leave not enough time to revote for the override?

I’ve read elsewhere that the next session can override the veto.

Can override next session. At least three vetoes were overridden this session from the previous. But it would be a big FU to us.

Boy, does this sound familiar…

”The measure was previously stuck in the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee, before it got pulled to the floor under a rarely used rule that caused a minor controversy of its own.”

“Police departments in both Lincoln and Omaha, the state’s biggest cities, have come out against the measure as well.”

Nebraska's controversial concealed carry bill advances

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — After a second straight morning of heated debate over Nebraska’s controversial permitless concealed carry bill, lawmakers voted to advance the bill. The measure was previously stuck in the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee, before it got pulled to the floor under a rarely...

From the article, this is a real Pinocchio right here:

“In addition to giving criminals easier access to weapons, OPD is worried it could hurt efforts to remove hundreds of illegal firearms from the streets.”

It’s really funny how things like this are said and written and no one really gives them a second thought or questions them. This defies common sense. How could permitless carry do these things? I’d love to see an attempt at a sensible explanation. I suppose bad guys are turning in these guns because they’re not allowed to carry them and cannot or will not get a permit. So they’re coming off the streets now, but permitless carry will keep them there? Patent absurdity!

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Lets italic/bold this for the utter stupidity and well stupidity that it is...

"Opponents worry taking away these requirements will endanger lives and put guns into the wrong hands, like gang members."

I'm sorry sir, but that argument is just well... stupid.

 

[tbhausen]

All this lying and nonsense has been perpetuated long enough. Governor Holcomb, we are watching.

Some of you guys just don't back the blue

I back freedom.

So AL just went ConC, OH, GA and IN are about to and NE may go ConC as well? Will that put us at 26 states with ConC if they all pass? As good as I thought having half the states in the nation with ConC, having over half, even by one is even better. Hopefully gives more leverage for other states to get this passed.

 

[KLB]

So he doesn't actively veto it, thinking that "the people don't want it".

He could just ignore it, which would be fine by me, as it still becomes law that way, but actively signing it and making it law would be better optics for someone running for US Senate.

I can't speak for everyone, but my thought is if enough of us are hounding him to sign, he won't think he could get away with a veto, and will at least let it go into effect by ignoring it.

Are you guys afraid the Senate won't overturn the veto?

I just don't see the reason for caring. I think I would rather see him veto it. See it get overturned, and hopefully it adversely affects any chance he has at a Senate run. I want to be done with the idiot once his term is done.

We don't want to wait for next session. And we don't want to have to worry about the revote with the shenanigans pulled so far. For instance, I don't know if there's any more committee things to be concerned with when overturning a veto.

A couple days ago on WIBC Rob Kendall predicted Holcomb would veto it, and either it wouldn’t be taken up again next session, or enough Republicans would go soft on opposing the Governor that they wouldn’t have the votes to override.

That's a huge tell from RINO Eric if he doesn't sign it...

1. All he has to do is sign it and move on. He may just get my future vote for Senate. Anyway- if he signs it, who would he p-o that would already not vote for him- angry 'D's?
2. He doesn't have to sign it and its automatic. Still weak.
3. Veto- and he gets overridden. Worse case look for RINO Eric. I will not vote for and actively oppose his future political aspirations.
4. Veto- and 'R's don't have the stones to override. Worse for 'R's. They DO NOT get my vote going forward. I don't care if they voted for it or not.

The 'R's need to have a real sit down with ol' RINO Eric and show him the light. Just sign it and everyone can move on.

At this point, it appears that RINO Eric really doesn't support the 2A.

Could be a sad day for Indiana 'R's.

I'm blabbering since all of this has already been said at nauseum...

The longer it hangs in the air, the more chances there are for something to change.

I think anyone who has decided to be done with Holcomb has already made that decision. I know I have.

 

[tbhausen]

Within a week or two we will know, because it will have made it to his desk, and seven days will have passed.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I remember reading somewhere that they can call a special session and vote to override instead of waiting for the next session.
