TOPEKA, Kan. (CN) – Gov. Sam Brownback today will sign a bill allowing Kansans to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
Senate Bill 45 , approved by the state House
85-39 and the Senate 31-8, will eliminate the state’s permit process, in
which concealed carry applicants were required to submit to state and
national background checks and complete an approved handgun safety and
training course.
Kansas is already an open-carry state and will continue to issue licenses if gun owners apply. But the new law allows adults to carry handguns openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, without a license.
Kansas is the fifth state to allow concealed carry without a permit, joining Arizona, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming.
