One more step toward REAL Constitutional Carry

Kansans like to boast that this state has Constitutional carry. The only caveat is our young adults. Men and women between 18 and 21 cannot legally carry in Kansas. That may soon change. A bill passed in the House would allow them the possibility of carrying if they pass a concealed carry course.  Still not Constitutional for all, but clearly a step in the right direction.
Maybe we don't want kids taking guns to school, even if that school is Washburn, or Kansas State, or that weird facility between Topeka and Kansas City. But kids today, as in years past, tend to get the shitty jobs in life. A recent graduate from high school may spend her nights working at a fast food joint in a not so nice part of town in order to make the money to be independent. Getting off at midnight in some places is a risk. The thug who harassed them at 11:30 might be in the alley waiting. He will have a gun because he has no respect for the law. The question about his respect for a 9mm will decide whether he lives to see another day.
Giving our young adults back their right to self defense will not spark turf wars and Hatfield McCoy style feuds. The people who do that don't give a rip about gun laws to begin with. Preventing the next Mollie Tibbetts is what this is about.
