Last Day to Sign or Veto HB89.
House Bill 89 allows Licensed holders of CCW permits to carry on public transportation where before it was a felony to do so.
HB89 allows us to visit a restaurant for a meal and NOT violate the public gathering statute (which is an old Jim Crow Law).
More than 40 of the states that allow CCW permit the above behaviors and have NOT seen an increase in crime/violence.
HB89 does a few other things but those are the big ones. If the Governor signs the bill it will become law. If he doesn't sign the bill, it would still become law. However, if he vetos the bill it will not but the General Assembly could try to override the veto.
Call Governor Perdue's office. Politely urge the harassed woman answering the phones to pleas ask the governor to support HB89. 404-656-1776
