I always wanted to live in Kansas.
Enjoyed it while I was there. Nice people, great place to raise a young family.
It passed several pro gun owner statutes in recent years, motivated in large part by the local reaction to the LA Katrina gun grab. Very reasonable CCW requirements.
Kobach is a competent attorney and I suspect he has the commitment of like-minded state AG’s who will join him when it gets to the USSC.
Sadly, Kansas is essentially a sanctuary state, no doubt due to its heavy agriculture market. Heard there were a number of smaller city governments in the control of "newly arrived" immigrants (a trend supported and nourished in recent years with frequent visits by key federal officials and new programs). At the state level the cost of welfare programs and education has gone ballistic.
