BILL NUMBER:  SB 585
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 585 without my signature.

This bill would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition at the
Cow Palace.  This bill would set a confusing precedent at the state
level by statutorily prohibiting one District Agricultural
Association (DAA) from selling firearms and ammunition, a legal and
regulated activity, while allowing other DAAs to continue to do so.
In addition, this bill would result in decreased state and local tax
revenues by restricting events at the Cow Palace.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
