Gov. Brownback signs into law concealed carry measure; campuses exempt for four years

Actually you don't have to prosecuted to be a criminal, just break the law. Lots of criminals are never charged with ANYTHING. I've broken many laws I've never been charged with.

The amendment itself is written to neuter existing limitations on where one could carry a gun legally. Basically, even though everyone knows that I'm not allowed to carry a gun on campus, including me, I will. And when I'm found, for whatever reason, to be carrying a gun where it is obviously posted and general knowledge that it is prohibited, I'm protected.

Why are we so worried about protecting "responsible" gun owners if they can't even be held responsible for their gun? I can legally drink, but not on a public sidewalk. If you consider yourself responsible enough to carry a loaded gun capable of ending someone's life, shouldn't you also be responsible for knowing where you can lawfully do that?

Actually poof, I can read just fine. Anyone carrying a gun where they are not supposed to would be violating the law, whether their permit is valid or not. If it doesn't protect criminal activity, why would the amendment protect the perpetrator from "criminal prosecution?"

See you at the library.

POOF

"The law also won't make people with valid state permits subject to criminal prosecution if they carry concealed weapons into a building, though officials can direct them to remove the gun or leave."

Nothing like protecting criminals with guns...you know, that thing we all need guns to protect us from.

How exactly is this article written from a liberal viewpoint? Because it is written in a newspaper? It contains nothing but a bit of history of gun legislation in Kansas and opinions on both side of the issue. Is it a liberal viewpoint because it actually shows that there ARE two sides to the issue?

Police cite 46 in Monday night seat belt enforcement

Why is the ticket $50 more for those under 18? Why can't we treat adults like, well...adults. What a joke.

Gun bills easily approved

So carrying a pistol to my kids school or the statehouse is going to protect you from the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED federal government? Why do you hate America?

Gun rights bills on target for final passage

I think you need to research the definition of "regulated." Go on now, and not on the NRA website...
