LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas isn’t changing a law that allows blind people and others with serious physical disabilities to carry concealed guns, and one lawmaker says he expects even more changes to the concealed-carry law.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt expressed concern in February about the state’s inability to deny concealed carry applications to people who couldn’t safely handle a firearm. But a spokesman for Schmidt this week said the law was still intact and couldn’t point out any attempts by the attorney general to change it.
Republican Rep. Richard Carlson of St. Marys said he expects future changes to include pushing to remove a requirement that applicants pass a shooting test.
