AOKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma's Republican Governor Mary Fallin vetoed a bill that would have allowed adults to carry handguns without a permit and signed another that permits religious organizations to exclude same sex couples from adoptions, managing to anger both gun and gay rights groups on the same day.

The twin actions announced late Friday were among more than a dozen decisions on legislation taken by the term-limited governor as she clears the decks in her waning months in office.

They also followed a tumultuous session of the Legislature that saw striking teachers march on the Capitol, prompting lawmakers to raise taxes including on the state's powerful oil and gas industry, to fund increases in education spending.

Plllt! Vermont has had no license requirement to carry in its history (that may have just changed) and has one of the lowest murder rates in the country.

Many states have recently adopted this unrestricted policy as well. See => http://www.freerepublic.com/~jdege/

Screw the statist shills.

I don’t think she said exactly that...but what she did do and say... Well that was the impression she left...

It was meant as a joke...but almost too close to the truth to be funny.

They have constitutional carry but:
“Vermont formerly had very few gun control laws. But in 2018, the state enacted laws requiring background checks for private sales, raising the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21, banning the sale of handgun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds and rifle magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, banning the possession of bump stocks, and allowing police to seek a court order to seize guns from anyone deemed an extreme risk.[1][2]”
