Governor signs bill closing records of concealed gun permits

Take note here, the folks that want the names of CCW holders made public are the same ones that oppose a CCW in the first place and of course the blabbermouth media that think nothing should be kept from them.

TOPEKA, Kan. - Although critical of the idea, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a bill Wednesday keeping Kansans in the dark about who has a concealed gun permit.

The record-closing language was folded into a broader bill addressing various shortcomings of the concealed guns law, which takes effect July 1 after lawmakers overrode the governor's veto.

Closing records for concealed gun permit holders never received a committee hearing. Rather, it was tucked into a House-Senate conference committee report, and legislators had to accept or reject the entire package.

In criticizing the record-closing portion, Sebelius said in a statement, "I believe it should have received an open committee hearing in the Legislature. I also believe the records of licenses issued under this law should be open, like those of any other license."

But Sebelius said the bill has good parts, which led her to sign it.
