People as young as 18 could carry concealed weapons under a bill advanced in the Kansas House on Thursday.
Currently, people must be 21 or older to have a concealed weapon.
Lawmakers rejected allowing Wichita State University and other public universities to prohibit concealed weapons. Instead, they voted to require permits for anyone taking guns onto campuses.
The House voted 85-35 to advance House Bill 2042. A final vote in the chamber could come Friday; the bill then would advance to the Senate. |

"Surveys of campuses have shown most students and staff want to prohibit concealed weapons."
See, that's the beauty of fundamental rights: It doesn't matter one whit what the 'majority' wants, we have them regardless. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
