County to Bar Concealed Weapons in Douglas County Buildings
Douglas County commissioners voted to prohibit weapons in county buildings effective Jan 1, opting to exempt county buildings from a state law allowing concealed carry with permits while adopting a second resolution banning carry regardless of permits. The action aligns with local control aims and follows a security plan reviewed by officials, with the county planning to list the courthouse on Lawrence's Historic Places registry and finalize banking and procurement contracts.

Kansas quake probe weighs fracking link and natural causes
Quake investigators in Kansas say no evidence yet ties the seismic event to hydraulic fracturing. Officials note oil and gas activity, saltwater disposal wells, and a nearby Nemaha Ridge as possible factors, with natural causes considered. The Kansas Corporation Commission and Kansas Geological Survey are gathering information while stressing Kansas’ long oil history with few incidents. The 1867 Manhattan quake remains the state’s largest on record.
