Key Notes

Second Amendment Protection Act restricts federal NFA enforcement for in-state manufactured firearms. Firearms must be stamped "Made in Kansas." Federal enforcement still possible.

  • •Permitless (21+ / 18+ provisional) — Adults 21+ can carry concealed without a permit. Those 18-20 may carry under a provisional allowance with some location restrictions.
  • •Unrestricted (in-state) NFA — Kansas passed the Second Amendment Protection Act claiming to exempt in-state manufactured NFA items from federal regulation. In practice, federal ATF enforcement still applies, so a tax stamp is still required.
  • •Yes, no permit (Open Carry) — Open carry of handguns and long guns is legal without any permit statewide.
  • •State Preemption: Yes — Local governments cannot enact their own firearm restrictions.
  • •No Background Check (Private) — Private sales between individuals do not require a background check.
