Increased security checkpoints have become a way of life at airports and public buildings, and college sports fans of Kansas State University and the University of Kansas will face higher scrutiny as changes in the state concealed carry law take effect this summer.
As of July 1, under a law passed four years ago by the Kansas Legislature, anyone over the age of 21 will be allowed to carry a firearm onto university grounds in Kansas. Firearms may be prohibited in specified facilities, but that requires the implementation of Adequate Security Measures (ASM) involving metal detectors and/or the use of hand wands.
