City of Manhattan officials are going to ban concealed weapons in some areas. This month Kansas began issuing Concealed Carry licenses. State law prohibits concealed weapons in some areas including state buildings, but Manhattan City Commissioners are taking those restrictions further.
"Our philosophy was to identify certain areas as property that we own where there might be meetings or larger gatherings of people and those are the areas we want to make sure that someone's not bringing a concealed weapon," Manhattan Deputy City Manager Diane Stoddard said.
Those areas include public parks, swimming pools and some organized sports areas. The city will have to display signs to show that weapons are not allowed.
