The Associated Press: on Gun Control


Derek Schmidt: Recognize out of state concealed carry permits

A House committee has advanced a bill to expand Kansas' recognition of other states' concealed carry permits. Schmidt said the bill would help the state maintain reciprocity agreements with other states so that Kansans can carry concealed firearms elsewhere. Schmidt said when Kansas passed a law allowing residents to carry concealed firearms without a permit, they removed a provision that required the attorney general to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other jurisdictions.

Mandela Barnes: Has advocated for tighter gun control laws

The job of lieutenant governor has few official duties. Evers tapped Barnes to lead the governor's task force on climate change, releasing a report in December that included 55 policy recommendations. He has also advocated for tighter gun control laws and redistricting reform, issues that Evers has championed as governor.
