KANSAS PASSES "SHALL-ISSUE" RIGHT-TO-CARRY!

On Thursday, Governor Sebelius' (D) veto of NRA-backed Right-to-Carry legislation, Senate Bill 418, "The Personal and Family Protection Act," was overridden!

"After 12 years, it took a collective, bi-partisan effort to win this fight," NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox declared. Kansas now joins 38 other states that respect the Right-to-Carry and allow their citizens to carry a firearm for personal protection.

The Kansas State Senate voted 30 to 10 to override Governor Sebelius' veto of the Right-to-Carry legislation. Less than a day later, the Kansas House of Representatives voted 91 to 33 to sustain the override.

The thing that bothers me about this stuff is that it's not a right if you need permission or have to pass a law to "allow" it.

Rights are inherent, if you have to ask permission it's not a right.

Part of me likes conceal carry laws because it legitimizes the act, but a larger part of me hates them because it concedes it as a right.

You are right, of course. But we didn't get to where we are overnight, so it will take time to regain all of the ground we've lost over the years. A step in the right direction, no matter how big or small, is still a good thing.

New York's Sullivan Act should have been shot down by the supreme court in 1910 or whenever it was enacted. Laws like that came to be and were sustained by crooked judges as well as crooked legislators. When laws are enacted by unlawful means such as ignoring the 2nd amendment, such law deserves citizen nullification, which would work if juries were educated.

Great news! My son is stationed out there at Fort Riley as an MP. He has been thinking about getting something to carry.

So now what we need is reciprocity with Kansas

I'm reading this thinking what? Kansas? And then I realize the thread is 8 years old. I figured that would have been one of the first states to allow concealed carry anyway, like, more than 8 years ago.
