of teeth lets try this

The Wisconsin supreme court overturned a law banning concealed weapons on constitutional grounds.

in that decision the court recommended the legislature write a law giving law enforcement and the courts guidelines used to govern CCW.

The Governor vetoed this bill.

Today you can get a permit to carry but have to show proof of need to the court. People in the court system say they will be much more agreeable given this latest show of support by the elected representatives.

The senator that wrote the bill voted no to overturn the veto, and now knows that with all of the support shown by the voters the bill he introduces next year will not be as restrictive as the bill that was vetoed. The vetoed bill had a lot of language in it that was there due to the necessary negotiation that enabled this bill to clear both houses. After the govenors veto the response of the voters showed that a bill with less restrictions is now going to be easier to pass
