Concealed Carry Weapons in Kansas

This is a portion of a article in re: the Kansas Concealed Carry law coming up for a vote tommorrow. Suprisingly a female Democrat is one of the sponsors of the act along with her male rep. counterpart. Hopefully common sense will prevail and it will pass, even with the Gov`s opposition.
The proposed Personal and Family Protection Act, sponsored by Rep. Candy Ruff, a Democrat, and Rep. Gary Hayzlett, a Republican, would allow Kansas residents to arm themselves against criminal attack. A story in the Wichita Eagle recounted how Ruff heard from two women in her district who had been raped, and began carrying guns to defend themselves from further attack, whether legal or not.
"Politicians of the stature of Gov. Sebelius walk safely because they have armed security," Gottlieb observed. "Alas, her female constituents enjoy no such luxury. The time has come for anti-gun politicians like Sebelius to change their attitudes about personal protection, and stop trying to enforce their prejudices on the citizens they are elected to serve."
Kansas is one of four states that do not have some form of concealed carry. Gottlieb said it is long past the time that Kansas citizens join the ranks of Americans in 46 other states, including 37 with right-to-carry laws, whose right to self protection is fully recognized.
