Congratulations Kansas!

The state House on Thursday overrode Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ veto of a concealed weapons bill, allowing it to become law this summer.

The vote was 91-33, giving supporters seven votes more than the required two-thirds majority. The Senate voted 30-10 for the override Wednesday night, three votes more than needed.

The new law, taking effect July 1, will permit Kansans who are U.S. citizens to apply for concealed-carry permits at their local sheriffs’ offices.

As a resident of the largest city in the United States with concealed carry — a city where, according to the FBI, one in three cars has a gun in it — I can promise the nervous nellies, including Gov. Sebelius, that none of their fears will be realized. Houston is the proof.free downlod massenger

What the gun restrictionists don’t seem to understand is that while the law can punish people after the fact, it cannot prevent them from doing wrong. A conscience is what prevents people from doing wrong. And fortunately, most people have one. Those who don’t aren’t going to be stopped by statute.

The Orwellian rhetoric of the politicians notwithstanding, the law cannot protect you from a violent thug. A handgun can.free downlod massenger
