Kansas broadly preempts cities and counties from regulating firearms, ammunition, components, and accessories beyond what state law specifically authorizes.
Under K.S.A. 12-16,124, no city or county in Kansas may regulate the purchase, transfer, ownership, storage, carrying, transportation, taxation, licensing, or registration of firearms or ammunition. Local governments may only regulate the discharge of firearms in narrow circumstances and the carrying in publicly owned buildings if proper signage and security measures are in place. The statute voids any inconsistent local ordinance and applies to all political subdivisions including cities, counties, and townships across Kansas.
Local ordinances conflicting with state firearms preemption are unenforceable and void from enactment.
