Calling all KS Pro-CCW people!!

Anybody think that HB2798 will get shot down? I kinda think it will. But if in fact it does pass. Im sure it will not be a negative impact to the state. The house voted 78-43 in favor of the bill and its now on to senate. Sebilius has said she will veto it. Heres a quote:

I will veto the measure because I believe that it's passage will make Kansas less safe.

Since that is the opposite of demonstrated results in the 46 states that do allow concealed carry, she must feel that the people of Kansas are a wilder and less law abiding breed, of lesser character than the residents of all of these other states. She must also have serious doubts about the judgment of, and little respect for, the substantial majority of the Kansas legislators that voted to pass the measure. I think that this sentiment definitely needs to be conveyed to Gov. Sebelius and the Kansas legislators that still must vote on this measure.

We'll see what happens!!

Man. Im surprised. Nobody here from Kansas cares about this?

Well, I just noticed this. Not that I don't care about it CCW, but I kind of forgot about this forum. lol I believe the bill will get passed and Sebilius will veto it no matter how it is worded, or what kind of provisions are added.

I most certainly agree with your last paragraph, in what her quotes seem to convey about her opinions about the residents of Kansas as well as the legislators. I already e-mailed my legislators letting them know my opinion, guess maybe one to the governor is in line as well....

I went ahead and sent a brief message to every Kansas Senator. I have already gotten quite a few responses. Some real typed messages and some automated responses. If it came down to a majority vote in favor of a CCW bill in Kansas, I really dont think Sebilius coulde veto it. I would hope she would try to avoid the embarassment of firing down a majority vote by the Kansas Senate. Hell, I dont know what will happen. Only time will tell!

Well you have my support. Of course from Nevada that don't do y'all much good, but rest assured you have my full support. Hopefully your elected officials realize that it is your RIGHT to have the ability to defend yourselves, your loved ones, and your property.

Good luck and godspeed.

Mrs. Kathleen (Nazi) Sebelius vetoed Kansas's Right To Carry bill today. Supposedly Rep. Candy Ruff of Leavenworth is looking to consider a veto-override. When election time rolls around for Kansas, DO NOT VOTE FOR SEBELIUS!!! I didnt vote for her in the first place. If Tim Shallenburger was elected to office, he would have signed the CCW bill the minute it hit his desk! The Governor has made a serious political mistake. Sebelius has aroused the ire of both conservative Republicans and Democrats. The Pro 2A people in Kansas will do their best to see that Sebelius is defeated in November and it can be done! By the way, the last Kansas governor was a RHINO (Republican in name only) Bill (Bleeding Heart) Graves. It is time for the Republican wing of the Republican party to elect someone who shares conservative values like the right to keep and bear arms and the right to self-defense!

I'm not from Kansas, but I do travel to and through Kansas a few times a year. I'm all for Kansas CCW and reciprocity with Colorado. Looking at a map of CCW states, Kansas is sticking out like a sore thumb. When is Sebelius up for re-election? When do you think the CCW initiative will come up again? It was great to see the Missouri legislature override the veto there -- about time!

Well, a similar bill has come up again. Passed the house and senate very comfortably. Sebelius is expected to veto it again. If she does, I think it can be overridden. What think you guys?

I heard something about this on the radio recently, but they didn't explain the whole issue. Can anyone tell me what the related laws are?

Obviously Kansas is trying to pass a law allowing concealed weapons. Are you not allowed to carry at all?

Concealed carry is illegal. The legality of open carry would depend on county/city laws.

Shocker · March 23, 2006

As expected, Gov. Sebelius did veto the bill. However last night the senate voted to override the veto, as did the house just hours ago. Effective July 1, Kansans will be able to obtain concealed carry permits.

Well crap, there goes my career as a stick-up man in Garden City.

This issue has been avoided way too long..............I feel that every person should have the right to protect their family with any means necessary...........We just need to go back to the "Old-West" days, and take care of the bad-guys and ride off into the sunset......
