Ks House Approves 3 Gun Laws
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas House has approved three proposals to alter the state's gun regulations, including expanding the locations where concealed weapons could be carried.
The bills passed with broad support Thursday and head to the Senate for consideration.
One measure would let school districts and state colleges designate employees who could carry concealed firearms inside their buildings, even if such weapons were banned for others.
The bill also would expand the number of public buildings where people with a state permit could bring concealed weapons, including the Statehouse.
Another measure declares that the federal government cannot regulate firearms manufactured, sold and kept in Kansas.
The proposals are a reaction to discussions about new federal gun-control measures after December's school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
