Permitless Concealed Carry Legislation

Introduced in Kansas Senate

A bill recognizing Kansans' freedom to legally carry a concealed firearm without the burdensome requirement of acquiring a Kansas concealed carry license was introduced in the Kansas Senate. Authored by Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce (R-34), Senate Bill 45 is an important amendment to current Kansas law and has already received 26 cosponsors. Both KSRA and NRA support this legislation.

SB 45 is a necessary update to concealed carry in Kansas, allowing law-abiding gun owners the ability to protect themselves and their loved ones. In Kansas, it is already legal to carry a firearm openly, as long as the individual is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. However, under current law, if a firearm becomes covered by a coat or if a woman prefers to carry a firearm for self-protection in her purse, one would need to possess a concealed carry permit.

This permitless carry legislation gives Kansans the freedom to choose the best method of carrying for them, based on their attire, gender and/or physical attributes. SB 45 is an important pro-gun reform that deserves your support, and we will keep you updated as this legislation is assigned to committee and moves through the legislative process. In the meantime, please use the contact information provided below to thank Senator Terry Bruce as well as the other 25 cosponsors for their work advancing your Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
