The Kansas House has rejected a move to repeal part of a
state law allowing concealed carry of firearms on college campuses.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Lawrence Democratic Rep. Barbara
Ballard offered an amendment last week to an unrelated gun bill that would
have added college campuses to a list of places exempt from the state's
concealed carry law. The law requires that most government-owned buildings allow
people to carry concealed firearms unless there is adequate security to prevent
anyone from bringing in a weapon.
Lawrence is home to the University of Kansas, and Ballard told lawmakers that
some parents have decided to send their children to out-of-state or private
institutions that do not permit concealed carry of firearms.
Ballard's amendment failed on a 43-75 vote.
