According to an Associated Press report, the Kansas Board of Regents has ruled that the University of Kansas must change a clause from its concealed weapons policy.

The University had attempted to require anyone carrying a firearm in a handbag, purse or backpack to keep those items physically with them at all times. The revised university policy will read: “Each individual who lawfully possesses a handgun on any of the University campuses shall at all times have that handgun in the person’s custody and control."

Removal of the original clause unreasonably limiting firearms for law-abiding citizens was another win for concealed-carry advocates in the Sunflower State.
