Gov. Wolf vetoes measure to legalize permitless concealed carry in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has vetoed a bill that would have made Pennsylvania the 22nd state in the country to allow all gun owners the right to carry an unchecked concealed weapon.
Wolf said Thursday that the measure would have worsened gun violence across the state, as well as put more residents and law enforcement in harm’s way.

“This is a veto against harmful legislation that puts public safety at risk across the commonwealth,” Wolf said.
The Republican-sponsored bill would have ended Pennsylvania’s license-to-carry system and made carrying a concealed gun without a permit legal. Gun owners would not have needed to obtain a concealed carry license and pass a background check performed by law enforcement.
The legislation would have also allowed for open carry without a permit in Philadelphia and reduced the legal carrying age from 21 to 18 years old.
As the measure passed through both houses of the General Assembly last month, Wolf pledged to veto the bill, arguing that it would put concealed firearms in the hands of the wrong people.
