Kansas: Panel endorses concealed weapons bill

[Superfly]

Could Kansas become the next state to join the ranks of shall or fair-issue states? Looks like maybe so, but the governor has indicated that she only supports concealed carry for retired LEOs. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this right will become extended to the citizens of Kansas.

A measure allowing Kansans to carry concealed weapons went to the full Senate after being endorsed today by the Federal and State Affairs Committee on a 5-4 vote.

Several attempts to broaden the list of places where concealed guns would remain forbidden failed on similar votes. The most significant change from a version of the bill passed by the House is that the attorney general's office would issue permits, rather than the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

KBI officials have taken no position on the concept of concealed weapons but have said the agency did not want to become a licensing authority.

1. good to see that American caste system at work (yet again)

I hope the Governor keeps her promise to veto the bill. Then she will be on record as being an elitist - worthy of being voted out of office.

Same problem here in MD: despite the fact that, by law, off-duty LEO's need to show a "good reason" for needing a CCW (just like any other MD citizen), the state police dole them out to LEO's no questions asked.

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
