Restaurant Carry and Phil Bredesen

[Guest benchpresspower]

Does anyone know Bredesen's stance on the bill? I've heard that he is for it and then I've heard that he hasn't said whether or not he would veto it. Correct me if I am wrong, I've had someone tell me that he could veto it 3 times and then it would die? We've come so far now and I keep hearing that it could be on the Gov's desk by Monday night but I am just wondering if he is legit on signing it or at the least letting it sit.

He can sign it, it will pass

He can not sign it, it will pas

He can veto it, then it goes to the full legislation to vote, there are enough votes to override, it will pass.

[Guest bkelm18]

I don't think he can re-veto. That's the good thing about a democracy. If he vetoes and the legislature overrides it, it still becomes law.

[saintsfanbrian]

Bredesen will sign it as he is "a friend of the NRA". Or he won't sign it and let it pass anyway with out signature. He will not Veto it.

[VolunteerGuns]

I wish he would JUST SIGN IT!!! Save us about 10 days wait... Like it to be finished... Oh yeah... LOGANS BOUND next month, boys...

Logans and Chilis, and LongHorns, oh my!

[Guest unreconstructed1]

well, I sent his office an e-mail regarding the subject, and all I got was a form letter back, so I believe that he's pretty much going to remain quiet until the issue comes up

[Guest Rick O'Shay]

There is no telling really. His term limit won't allow him to run for Gov. again. If he wants to move on to the National scene he will veto for the cache it will give him with the other Dems. If he doesn't give a shiznit he might just sign it. My money is on the veto attempt.

But then again, if he has an eye for the Whitehouse Post-Obama he might sign it hoping for TN's support in the future national election.

It could go either way really.

He'll take the 'cowards way out' and not sign nor veto and let it pass into law that way.

[Guest crotalus01]

How would his signing it save us a 10 day wait when the law doesnt go into effect until June 1st??

Probably meant it would save us 10 days of knowing if it will become law or not.

Just be nice to have it ALL over. No chances for ANY suprises. Whatever can go wrong will.

Isn't he a northeaster CARPETBAGGER anyway?....me no trust

[Guest FroggyOne2]

That is why he didn't get that health dept job in DC.

[Guest HexHead]

He probably got disqualified with that question on the questionnaire, "do you own a gun?".

[Guest 270win]

The bill will become law one way or the other.

Governor Bredesen was born in New Jersey.

My guess is that he will allow it to become law without his signature...that path represents the smallest expenditure of political capital for him. OMO, YMMV.

This is my guess too.. He'll do it "Obama style".. It's like voting "present"..

[Guest stovepipe]
