gymrat76541 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Kansas residents would be allowed to carry concealed weapons without permits under a proposed measure endorsed by a majority of state senators, the bill's author said on Thursday. Kansas would join Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming and Arizona as states that allow residents to carry concealed weapons statewide without a permit, according to the National Rifle Association, which supports such legislation. The bill introduced on Wednesday would eliminate background checks, gun training and other requirements that go along with a permit for concealed carry of firearms, Republican state Senator Terry Bruce said. Kansas already allows open carry of guns without a permit. "It's like any liberty a person has," Bruce said. "If you are going to own a gun you need to be responsible and if you are going to carry a gun, there is certain due diligence required of you regardless whether or not there is a permitting process." The bill is co-sponsored by 26 of the 40 senators and must undergo debate in committee before it can be considered in the full Senate and House. Republicans control both chambers. The bill drew criticism from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "Kansas should not become the fifth state to allow dangerous people - including felons, fugitives, domestic abusers and the severely mentally ill - to evade Brady background checks and carry loaded guns in public without a permit," Brady Campaign spokesman Brian Malte said in an email 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthwarrior Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think that Texas has an open carry bill coming up.Greg Abott said he would sign it if it came across his desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV ME Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Kansas residents would be allowed to carry concealed weapons without permits under a proposed measure endorsed by a majority of state senators, the bill's author said on Thursday. I am a little concerned that if this law passes it will be harder for Jayhawkers to legally carry out of state. Currently there are 36 other States that recognize and reciprocate the Kansas concealed carry license, and I have CC’ed in many of them without any problem. If KS removes the licensing requirements most of these 36 will no longer reciprocate making it more difficult to carry when traveling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas will still provide the CC license for that specific reason. And it will still be recognized by the same states. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEP01 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I lived in Arizona some time back and remember seeing a sign in the local grocery that said, "please check your firearm at the service desk". Just goes to show the old Bumper sticker was right... "An armed society, is a polite society". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
