[MasterJedi]

Every Region has already passed a law allowing concealed carry, so is there any reason this would be better off at a Federal level?

This is for areas that are not in any region, so other federal territories.

[MasterJedi]

I do have a question though, DC is in the Mideast so wouldn't it fall under Mideast law? If so I'll introduce an amendment to get that removed.

[MasterJedi]

So besides DC, what Atlasian territories is this to be subject in?

Everything that's not in a region. So Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, all other islands.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up the final vote on this bill. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

How does this bill have enough votes to pass? 

I count the current margin as 4 Aye, 3 Nay, 2 Abstain, with WMS having not voted yet.  If he votes Nay, then the VP breaks the tie.  I don't think that'll happen, but still...

It had enough votes to pass before Earl became Senator.
