Rep. Candy Ruff, a Democrat from Leavenworth, said she hoped the legislation would win by such large margins in the Legislature that it would survive a veto by Sebelius. Overturning a veto would require two-thirds votes in the House and Senate.

Ruff, who is married to a Leavenworth police officer, said most law enforcement officials supported allowing law-abiding citizens to have concealed weapons.

Ruff said she had no desire to carry a weapon and was not a member of the NRA. She said her support was based on what she said was the constitutional right to carry a gun and protect oneself.


This is awesome! It is good to see there are Dems that are destroying the myth that all Dems are gun grabbers.

1. Back in 1968.....

...a psychic was on "The Tonight Show", and told Johnny Carson that 1968 would be the year that pierced noses would be very popular. He was wrong, too........

3. Back in 2003...

an alleged psychic said that once CO, or MN, or NM or any other state went Right To Carry, that 2003 would be the year that state's streets ran red with rivers of blood. He was wrong too....

8. It's Still Someong Using a Gun

Concealed or not. Any person misusing a gun puts ALL gun owners in a bad light, IMHO.

9. I think we all agree

Any person misusing a gun puts ALL gun owners in a bad light, IMHO.

That's how I see it too.

it should be noted by all anti's that OH's streets were running red with blood long BEFORE they became RTC...if indeed they have become RTC.

10. C'mon, CO

Do you really believe that this is being done with CCW rifles? It's apples and oranges. Sniper wannabes use rifles.
