Kansas House approves concealed carry and Second Amendment bills
The House approved a concealed carry measure 84 to 38 allowing weapons in public buildings lacking security, with exemptions for universities, state hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics for four years. A separate bill, the Second Amendment Protection Act, passed 94 to 29, asserting state firearms made in Kansas stay exempt from federal law and risk penalties for federal enforcement. Local lawmakers warned of constitutional conflicts and potential safety risks, as another amendment faced scrutiny. Rep. Bob Grant called the bill unconstitutional and a political post card vote. Both measures advance to the Senate.
