KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A new state law in Kansas allows designated employees to bring guns to school. But an insurance company says if workers are packing heat that It won’t provide coverage.
EMC insurance, which covers about 90 percent of the schools in Kansas, says it won’t insure districts that allow armed employees. According to a report in the Topeka Capital-Journal, EMC has instructed its agents not to offer new policies to districts that allowed concealed weapons or re-new current ones.
This discussion comes from House Bill 2052, which allows Kansas residents with concealed permits to carry in more public places. Schools aren’t one of them, but under the law school boards can designate employees who can bring guns into public schools
Currently, only officers can carry guns on school property, but that could change when this new law takes effect on July 1.
