3 Kansas Gun Laws You Need To Know
Effective July 1, 2015 Kansas Law SB45 will change the Gun laws of Kansas. With gun laws constantly changing, it is important to stay current on the information to make wise decisions and be informed on new information.
Minimum Age for Possession of Firearms
In Kansas an individual must be at least 18 years of age to posses a firearm. However, minors can also possess a firearm if supervised by someone, such as their parent or guardian, or if they are doing activities such as hunting, or competitive shooting. A Minor is also able to possess a firearm at their residence, if allowed by their guardian. Minors under 18 also cannot possess guns with a barrel less than 12 inches, unless attending a gun safety course.
Concealed Carry Laws
The new bill, known as constitutional carry, is going into effect, inspired by the second amendment for the right to bear arms. It will allow some Kansas residents to be authorized to carry a concealed handgun without a license or training requirement. You are not able to carry a concealed weapon, however, on government property such as a courthouse or schools.
Who can’t Have Guns?
There are some individuals who are not able to carry a gun.
- Individuals who are younger than 21 years old
- Individuals who are addicted to a controlled substance
- Felons, or those with a felony charge
- Individuals who have been committed, involuntarily to metal health institution(s)
