TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Senators on Tuesday backed away from a contentious floor debate on the state's concealed carry law, opting instead to send a bill back to committee that would allow several types of medical providers to ban guns in their facilities.
The measure would allow public hospitals and nursing homes, community mental health centers, low-income health clinics and the University of Kansas Hospital to ban guns in their facilities without having to place metal detectors and armed guards at each entrance. An amendment added on the floor would still allow people to carry if they had a concealed carry permit, but facilities would be able to prohibit gun owners that don't have permits. It would specifically prohibit patients at state hospitals for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled from carrying guns.
Under a 2013 law the bill would partially roll back, those public buildings and university campuses can't prohibit guns unless they allow for security measures.
