DescriptionTopeka, Kan. — Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius vetoed a bill Friday to allow residents to carry concealed handguns, saying the measure would have made law-enforcement officers' jobs more difficult.

The bill would have required the Attorney-General's office to issue a concealed-carry permit to any Kansan 21 or older who was a U.S. citizen, paid a $150 application fee, had no mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction and completed eight hours of training.
