The Republican-controlled state House of Representatives voted 91 to 33 to enact the law, which Sebelius, a Democrat, said would make Kansas businesses less safe and hinder crime-prevention efforts. She said he had issued her veto at the urging of law enforcement.No facts to back up that statement of the governor of course. Just lefty, anti-gun invective.
The state Senate, also under Republican control, earlier voted 30-10 to override the veto.
The law allows Kansas residents over 21 years old to carry hidden guns into a variety of public places, although concealed weapons would be banned in schools, bars, courtrooms, churches and some other locations. To receive a permit, gun owners would have to pass a background check and receive weapons training.The Chruches exemption is one I hate. Women (people generally) being stalked, by an abusive ex-spouse or whatever, need to be able to defend themselves whenever they are on a known schedule at a known location. To-and-from work, to-and-from religious services, picking-up and dropping-off kids at school or day care.
Congratluations to all the good folks in Kansas.
