Changes In Conceal and Carry Laws Clear in Kansas House

KSCB News - March 12, 2012 1:10 pm

Concealed carry permit holders in Kansas would be allowed to carry their weapons in more places under a bill heading to the Senate.

The measure would allow concealed carry permit holders to carry weapons in public buildings that lack adequate security, such as metal detectors and security guards. The House approved the changes Monday on a 70-54 vote.

The changes would apply to all public buildings. Allowing the weapons is also viewed as an economic issue because of the cost associated with providing metal detectors and guards at entrances to each public building across Kansas.

Hospitals, colleges and nursing homes would be able to exempt themselves for a specific period of years by sending notification to the attorney general’s office.
