Odds ‘n Sods:

Brownback is a Brown Coat! Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has signed a bill that re-legalizes permit-free concealed carry (aka “Constitutional Carry“) of guns. The law will take effect on July 1st, 2015. Commendably, Brownback was quoted as saying: “Responsible gun ownership – for protection and sport – is a right inherent in our Constitution.” Kudos to Governor Brownback. Kansas will join Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Vermont, and Wyoming as Constitutional Carry states. The legislatures in other states should take note and follow suit! (Idaho and Montana are presently ripe candidates.) – JWR
