AZ Governor Brewer Vetoes Campus Gun Bill

 Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona made some headlines by vetoing Arizona's 'natural born citizen' bill requiring Presidential contenders to give proof of birth in order to run. Making smaller waves is the bill which the Republican vetoed that would have allowed guns to be brought on campuses.

Brewer cited that the bill was 'poorly written:'

Brewer said in a written statement announcing the veto that the bill didn't adequately define the "public right of way" where guns could be carried on public university and community college campuses, and gun laws must be "crystal clear so that gun owners don't become lawbreakers by accident."

She also warned that the bill could have mistakenly included K-12 schools, "where federal and state laws generally prohibit weapons."

Wonder if it will have a second go-around.
