Possible dangers in bill permitting concealed guns
TOPEKA — Opponents of a bill permitting Kansans to carry concealed handguns said yesterday the measure is flawed because people could carry their weapons into churches and places where children gather.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee had its second day of hearings on the concealed carry bill, which the House passed earlier this month.
The measure would require the state to issue concealed carry permits to any
Kansan who qualifies and pays a $150 application fee.
On Monday, Sen. John Vratil, a Federal and State Affairs Committee member, had said churches should be added to the list of places where carrying concealed weapons still would be illegal even if the bill passes.
Under the bill, concealed handguns would be prohibited in courthouses,jails, prisons, polling places, bars, taverns, the Statehouse and the Kansas State Fair.
Yesterday, Kim Gulley, a lobbyist for the League of Kansas Municipalities, said cities should be allowed to prohibit concealed guns at community centers. parks and swimming pools.
And Mark Desetti, lobbyist for the Kansas-National Education Association, said concealed guns should be prohibited wherever school activities occur.
"How can we allow firearms where children congregate?" he said in testimony.
Under the bill, people would qualify for a concealed-carry permit if they were 21 and American citizens, had undergone eight hours of gun training and did not suffer from a mental illness or drug and alcohol addiction.
Vratil also said he wondered why the right to carry concealed would be limited to U.S. citizens.

COMANCHIE was allegedly the only survivor (on the US side) of Custer's last stand at Little Big Horn. And he's a horse. Though some people mistakenly believe that the horse belonged to Custer himself, Comanche was actually owned by Myles Keogh, an Irish immigrant who fought valiantly for the United States. Comanche was recovered by the Army, who decided that he was never to be ridden or worked again, and was kept as a living memorial to the Battle of Little Big Horn. After his death, he was stuffed and put on display at KU's Natural History Museum, where he remains to this day.
