The Kansas Senate and House have voted to allow public healthcare facilities to continue banning concealed weapons, according to an article on the KMUW website.
Kansas law requires most public places to allow concealed firearms by or install security at entrances to keep weapons out. Healthcare facilities have an exemption that ends later this year.
The bill would also exempt public hospitals and the University of Kansas Health System.
Critics of the bill said if there isn’t security in place to bar all guns, then law-abiding citizens should be able to carry a weapon for self-defense.
