TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas legislators are making slow progress on two gun measures that are expected to win approval from solid gun-rights majorities in the House and Senate.
Votes on the bills had been expected Thursday, but members spent much of the day drafting and reviewing final versions. House and Senate leaders now expect final action Friday.
One bill declares that the federal government has no power to regulate guns, ammunition and accessories that are made, sold and kept exclusively in Kansas. The measure would make it a felony for a federal agent to enforce restrictions on such items.
The other proposal would let public schools and state colleges arm employees with concealed weapons. Also, schools, colleges and local governments couldn’t ban concealed guns in buildings unless they had security measures in place.
