The first was on guns in restaurants; the second on keeping firearms in vehicle compartments.
RICHMOND -- Gov. Tim Kaine on Tuesday vetoed legislation that would allow concealed handguns in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, saying the proposal would put patrons, employees and law enforcement officers at risk.
The governor also vetoed a measure that would allow gun owners without concealed-carry permits to store firearms in locked vehicle compartments, despite the fact that the measure had broad support in both chambers of the General Assembly.
