KSRA release :
This bill
passed the full House yesterday with a vote of 119 to 3 and now goes to
the Governor for signature! See how the House voted below.
SB 21
RIGHT TO CARRY REFORM
SB 21,
introduced by the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, is a
Right-to-Carry reform that would make a number of important changes. The most
substantial change would allow for universal recognition of non-resident carry
permits. In other words, any law-abiding visitor from out-of-state with a valid
state-issued carry permit would be allowed to carry a concealed handgun in
Kansas. This change would not only benefit concealed carry permit holders in
other states, but it will also make it more likely that other states will
recognize Kansas' carry permit.
Also under
SB 21, new Kansas residents who hold a valid concealed carry permit from their
previous state of residence would be able to instantly apply for a Kansas
permit instead of waiting to acquire their official Kansas resident status. New
residents would be granted a temporary "180-day receipt," to carry on
their old permit while their application is considered and processed. The state
Attorney General would also be able to create a list of states which meet or
exceed Kansas' requirements and that would automatically qualify for
recognition for issuance of a Kansas permit.

Thanks for posting this.
Wonder how long before the AG's site will be updated?

Eagle, thanks for keeping us abreast! At least they made going past any gunbuster not a crime. Otherwise, I would be more concerned about the buildings/premises language. Still, I hope that got fixed in the final version.

I posted the amended bill link in another thread.
I still have some questions and concerns with the amended version of all those bills.

KSRA email tonight :
Today the Governor signed SB 21.
Personal note: I understand (but have not looked the bill) that it is law as soon as it's published. So the Kansas Registry may be worth watching if you are interested. Updates on Thursdays.

Usually most new state laws in KS aren't effective until July 1st. I'm guessing that will be the case this time around as well.

it will be effective once it published in the register. Not sure when that gets published. Sent using Proboards mobile Usually the 2nd Thursday after it was signed. It can be "when published' , or a specific date, or they will specify July 1 when new laws are reprinted. This one is supposedly "when published". |

Or the second Thursday of each week which would make sense for political reasons. LOL

I wonder if my Bowie knife would be legal to carry under this law... LOL.
Actually , especially when I go to the farm, I have a couple of nice knives I'll like to be able to put on my belt and leave them there, but .... take them off every time I have to run to town for something.

I think it has always been legal to open carry a belt knife. Just not to conceal one.

I posted the "Kansas now recognizes all valid CC licenses from other states" in a couple of National forums (with links to the new law). That has brought on some interesting discussions, including some states that are now looking at doing the same thing, which would expand reciprocity.
The guys in NY, Calif, etc. hate it .....that their states are only getting more restrictive.
