Kansas House backs concealed carry bill over veto risk
The Kansas House voted 90 to 33 to send a concealed carry bill to the Senate, after the measure passed 29 to 11 last month. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius previously vetoed a similar bill in 2004, citing safety concerns for children and arguing may need for strict oversight. The bill would create a shall issue regime for residents 21 and older with background checks and training, prompting debate over whether officials should retain discretion or issue permits if criteria are met.
