The Louisiana state legislature has voted to hold the first-ever-in-the-history-of-the-state veto session. Veto sessions are automatic unless lawmakers opt-out by sending in ballots to the House and Senate clerks, which they have done every time since the new state constitution was put in place almost 50 years ago.
The four day special session of both houses will begin in Baton Rouge on July 20. Governor John Bel Edwards vetoed 28 bills from the just completed regular session, all of which are eligible to be considered for an override during the session.
The two bills at the top of the lawmakers override list are the Edwards vetoes of the Constitutional Carry legislation, which would allow Louisiana gunowners permitless carry, unrestricted carry, either openly or concealed, without a license or permit.
