Happiness Is A Loaded Nutcase
Local governments couldn't impose their own restrictions on people's ability to legally carry concealed guns under a bill that gained first-round approval Tuesday by the House.
Last year's law banned concealed guns in some locations, including bars, taverns, schools, courthouses, churches and day-care centers. Also, property owners can ban concealed guns by posting a sign.
Lawmakers complained that some Johnson County cities took it step further, banning concealed guns from public parks, open spaces and city buildings.
Supporters of the bill say the patchwork process could mean someone following state statute could unknowingly break the law by walking into a city park where a local ordinance bans concealed guns.

Yes, that would be terrible if citizens of Kansas could go to public parks or walk into a government office without fear of being blown away by someone with a concealed weapon. The search for Bambi is neverending!
