T.J. Bones SASS# 75616 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just received from the NRA.  Kansas: Permitless Carry Bill Passes Senate, Sent to HouseYesterday, Senate Bill 45 <http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2015_16/measures/sb45/> passed in the Kansas Senate by a 31 to 7 vote <http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2015_16/measures/vote_view/je_20150226112418_207022/>. This permitless carry legislation will now be transmitted to the Kansas House of Representatives where it will be assigned to committee.Authored by Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce (R-34), SB 45 recognizes Kansans’ freedom to legally carry a concealed firearm without the burdensome requirement of acquiring a Kansas concealed carry handgun license (CCHL). SB 45 is a necessary update to concealed carry in Kansas, allowing law-abiding gun owners the ability to better 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, he or she would need to possess a CCHL.This legislation gives Kansans the freedom to choose the best method of carrying for them, based on their attire, gender and/or physical attributes. However, this legislation would also keep in place the current permitting system so that people who obtain a permit could still enjoy the reciprocity agreements that Kansas has with other states.
