Brian Schweitzer vetoed a gun-rights bill Tuesday that would allow concealed carry without a permit in Montana cities, one of 15 vetoes Schweitzer issued as he also struck down Republican medical malpractice overhaul and an anti-bison measure.

It would have let anyone carry concealed without a permit in cities if they otherwise would be qualified to get a permit. Currently its legal to carry concealed without a permit in most parts of the state, but not in urban areas.

"This allows the individual to make his or her own eligibility determination and deprives law enforcement of the opportunity to consider whether the person is a threat to the community," Schweitzer said. "Obviously, this bill would greatly imperil the work and safety of Montana's lawmen, including sheriffs and highway patrolmen. Under current law, Montana's sheriffs are responsible for issuing concealed weapon permits. This is as it should be."
Gun advocates took the news hard.
