Kansas allows permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and older, while still issuing optional permits for reciprocity in other states.
Kansas adopted constitutional carry under the Personal and Family Protection Act, allowing residents 21 and older who are not legally prohibited to carry concealed firearms without a permit. Optional licenses remain available through the Attorney General for reciprocity purposes when traveling. Local governments cannot impose additional permit requirements or fees due to the firearms preemption in K.S.A. 12-16,124. Carrying is restricted in certain posted government buildings, schools, and secured facilities under state law.
Carrying concealed in a posted prohibited location may result in misdemeanor charges and potential removal from the premises.
