MADISON, Wis. -- The state Assembly failed to muster enough votes on Tuesday to override Gov. Jim Doyle's veto of the concealed carry bill.

The 64-34 vote means Wisconsin residents still won't be able to legally carry hidden guns and knives. The Assembly would have needed 66 votes to override the veto.

Two Democrats, state Reps. John Steinbrink and Terry Van Akkeren, changed their votes on the conceal carry issue -- both initially voted for the bill when it first passed the Assembly, but both voted against the override on Tuesday, WISC-TV reported.

Wisconsin is still one of only four states that prohibit concealed weapons. The override would have ended a 133-year ban on allowing Wisconsinites to carry concealed weapons.

The Senate voted to override the veto last week.

A two-thirds majority vote is required to override the governor's veto.

Under the bill, state residents who pass firearms training and get permits could carry concealed handguns, knives, billy clubs and electric shock weapons in most public places except for schools, taverns and police stations.

Wisconsin is one of four states that ban the carry of concealed weapons. Gun supporters and Republican legislators have been seeking to change that for years.

Bill sponsors said that it would deter crime and allow law-abiding citizens to defend themselves, their families and their property. Opponents said that the bill will only encourage gun violence and will leave people unsure of whether others around them are carrying hidden weapons.
