TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas will become the fifth state to allow its
residents to carry concealed firearms without a permit throughout the state.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback on Thursday signed a bill ending the permit
requirement. The change takes effect July 1.
The National Rifle Association says Kansas joins Alaska, Arizona, Vermont
and Wyoming in having such a policy. The NRA says Montana and Arkansas have
concealed carry without a permit, but not everywhere.
Kansas still will issue permits for gun owners who want to carry concealed
in other states that recognize Kansas permits. A person seeking a Kansas
permit must undergo eight hours of firearms training.
Brownback said gun owners have shown they are responsible.
But Democratic state Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau of Wichita said the state
still should require some training. |
