Kansas Gov. ‘Ignores’ Moms Demand: Signs Bill Abolishing Concealed Permit Requirement

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America’s TerriLynn Barnett Miller said her group opposed SB 45 to no avail. The Topeka Capital-Journal quotes Miller as saying her group “spoke out against this dangerous setback for public safety [but] Governor Brownback ignored [them].”

Another loss for Moms Demand Action, another win for freedom.

Ouch. I'm guessin' the momunists got their "bloomers" in a knot over this. Have no fear folks, they won't stop. They keep hearing "encore" and they keep comin' back.

Could Kansas Governor Sam Brownback be spared for a few days to show Indiana Governor Mike “Nancy-boy” Pence how to stand up straight like a man?

Truth in politics......where is Moms-for-whatever on the Bloomberg traitor scale?

LOL! According to their own internal pole-ing (is that right?) the truth meter for them is pegged. For the rest of us it just another page out of the gun violence messaging hand book.

Although the permit is now largely optional, get one anyway (and this is true for any state with optional permitting for CCW).

There are at least 3½ reasons to do so, and only the first is commonly mentioned:

1. out of state carry in reciprocity states that honor your state's permit,
2. skipping the background check when buying a firearm,
3. being within 1700 feet of a school while carrying, but not actually on school grounds, and
4. being sure that you are even legal to possess a firearm.

On #3, this is enough of a gray area that even police are encouraged to get civil permits.

And on #4, sure, you might think you'd know if you were a prohibited person, but on the other hand, you might have completely forgot about that little disqualifying incident 20 years ago.

Having the permit also qualifies as a second form of photo ID in situations where that might arise, but in general you want to minimize the number of people who know that you carry. Rely on your pilot's license instead. ☺

Showing my concealed carry permit is the last thing I’d use as a second form of identity.

Imagine some left wing lunatic seeing the permit, panicking and yelling at the top of her lungs: “GUN! GUN!, He’s got a GUN!”.

I have used mine as a second form of id when visting my bank. But I’m in Texas... ;)

Moms Demand is more fake than astroturf.

I’m trying to get my wife to start “Moms Demand Guns”. If she signs up her sister and mother she will have twice the roster of Moms Demand.
