What type of carry is generally allowed in Kansas without a permit?

Concealed carry
Open carry
Neither
Both

The correct answer is: Both

In Kansas, individuals are generally permitted to carry firearms openly without a permit. This open carry law allows citizens to visibly carry a firearm in public places, provided that they do so in accordance with the applicable regulations. Additionally, since 2015, Kansas law has allowed for concealed carry without requiring a permit, under specific conditions, which means that individuals can legally carry a concealed firearm without needing to undergo the usual permitting process. Therefore, both types of carry—open and concealed—can be exercised without a permit in Kansas, aligning with the intent of the law to promote self-defense rights and the exercise of Second Amendment freedoms. This reflects a broader trend in gun ownership and rights across many states, where laws are evolving to offer more flexibility and freedoms regarding firearm possession and carrying.
