Default Kansas IS Constitutional Carry

Constitutional Carry. No papers, no permit, no fee's, no approval. Let the hand wringing begin.

Updated: March 2, it will be law July 1

Looking to get back to the Johnson County area in a few months. This would be one more benefit! Hopefully the Governor will sign it.

FL is easy to get, and all done thru the mail.

My only question is how it will affect LEOSA qualification for retirees and reciprocation with other states that currently recognize KS but still require permits?

Governor Brownback signed SB45 into law today. Becomes effective on July 1, 2015!

Good news for Kansas.

Patricia Stoneking, the president of the Kansas State Rifle Association, was instrumental in getting SB 45 passed. She authored a FAQ sheet about the bill (now law) that is posted on the KSRA website. Here is the link: http://www.ksraweb.net/PDF/SB%2045%20FAQ%2001-22-15.pdf

I think question 11 will answer your question. Hope this helps!

It will be interesting to see if this slow rolling snowball of common sense eventually turns into a avalanche to other states.

WV just missed, stymied by the Gov's veto. ME and NH are winding thru the legislatures.

That is great news for sure. Look's like the States are starting to move in the right direction, and enact common logic . Now all that is needed is for the remaining 44 States to man up, and get things done right.

Thank you,
Henry

My understanding (correct me if I am wrong) is that this law applies only to Kansas residents. Non-residents may still be held to another standard (out-of-state permit, reciprocity agreement, etc).

If I were not a Kansas resident I don't think I would plan on walking around in Kansas with a concealed handgun without some clarification.

Congrats to Kansas. Texas has a Constitutional Carry Bill working its way through... I hope and pray it happens here.

I wonder if Kansas and Colorado could do a governor swap, even just for a little while? Heck we would even throw in a couple state legislators and some legal marijuana for free.

Aloha,

The Absolute LAST state to do anything positive for gun owners

will be HAWAII.

A major reason Why the Wife and I are Hoping to move to

Texas Hill Country when she retires in 3 years.

Vast majority of gun owners are willing o put up with government BS.

They get what they put in (or Don't)

Kansas is a done deal, signed by the Governor. Becomes effective July 1st. It is for legal Kansas residents only. Out of state folks still need a reciprocal CC permit.

We are the 5th State to enact this. I pray for more and that they become reciprocal too.

A lot of the hand wringers bemoan untrained folks with guns. We know it is for self defense and we know we are not the Police.

I for one will use but not abuse it.

model70hunter,

I am not a lawyer, and legal documents can get confusing to me, but I don't believe that there is a residency requirement in the Kansas Constitutional Carry bill that was signed by the Governor.

Here is a link to the bill as signed: http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b201...5_enrolled.pdf

Here is a link to the summary: http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b201...sb_45_2015.pdf

And here is a link to a FAQ page put out by the Kansas State Rifle Association (posted earlier)... look at Question 11 specifically: http://www.ksraweb.net/PDF/SB%2045%20FAQ%2001-22-15.pdf

It appears to me that anyone legally able to possess and carry a firearm can do so in Kansas without a permit, not just Kansas residents. If I'm wrong, I will gladly offer an apology.
