Senate pushes uniform gun laws across Kansas
The Kansas Senate backed a bill to create statewide uniform gun rules prohibiting municipalities from enacting their own gun ordinances and restricting concealed carry. The measure bans carrying guns into buildings with posted signs and forbids possession by those under the influence, while denying concealed carry to certain felons. Local officials warn the bill limits local control while supporters cite clarity for self defense.
