Guns will be allowed at psychiatric hospitals unless Kansas comes up with millions to stop it

[n2doc]

Officials in Kansas are scrambling to keep weapons out of state hospitals — including psychiatric facilities — four years after passing a law to allow them.

A 2013 bill expanded gun laws in Kansas by allowing concealed firearms in state and municipal buildings, while also giving a four-year exemption to public colleges and hospitals. But that exemption expires July 1.

So for hospitals to be able to continue banning guns, lawmakers must either pass a new law making that exemption permanent — or implement costly security measures.

Under the 2013 law, facilities can still ban weapons after July 1 if they meet certain security requirements, such as installing metal detectors and hiring full-time armed security guards. But those measures would cost millions.

5. Kansas does not even have thousands

to fight with. We are freaking broke and broken. My guess is there are not enough votes to even consider stopping this. We did better the last election but I fear not enough. I hope beyond hope I am wrong. I am without anything to back this up except years of past experience. Brownback is smiling as he prepares to leave us thinking he did a great job.
