The Kansas legislature votes to end the state fee for Kansans to obtain a concealed carry permit.

 Attorney General Kris Kobach agrees with the legislation, saying Kansans should not have to pay the state a fee in order to exercise a constitutional right. During his campaign for the Office of Attorney General, Kobach had said he wanted to eliminate the fee. Kansas is now the second state in the U.S. to eliminate the CCL fee.

 Kobach says eliminating the fee will encourage more Kansans to obtain training and get their CCL. With the state becoming a constitutional carry state, Kobach believes eliminating the $100 fee will do much to encourage more people to receive proper training for their CCL. County sheriffs will continue to collect a $32.50 fee for their part in the CCL process.

 The measure now goes to the governor for signature.
