Concealed carry for Kansas public workers begins Friday

The measure is one of many newly passed laws that take effect July 1, The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/29g7OMk ) reports. Other measures reduce the amount of the time someone can receive welfare benefits and a ban on under-18s using tanning beds.

Under the concealed weapon law, public employees won't need gun safety training to carry on the job. Supporters say the law will allow public employees, such as city code inspectors, to protect themselves on the job. Opponents say it violates the personal property rights of homeowners and presents safety risks.

Republican Sen. Forrest Knox, the legislation's main proponent, said "we should trust our public employees."
