Kansas hunter safety program faces bills amid law change debate
Kansas Fish and Game officials brief area hunter safety instructors on two pending measures. One would let holders of old NRA safety cards obtain Kansas certificates without state training, raising concerns about policing and program integrity. A second bill would issue temporary certificates to under 12s, prompting strong instructor opposition. Despite concerns, officials emphasize safety education as essential amid gun control debates. Franklin, Anderson, and Miami counties are highlighted for their strong program, while recent accidents nationwide are noted but Kansas maintains a low accident rate.
