Are there any areas in Kansas where carrying a firearm is prohibited, even with a permit?

No
Yes, in schools and government buildings
Yes, but only in government buildings
Yes, but only in private businesses that post a ban

The correct answer is: Yes, in schools and government buildings

The correct answer acknowledges that certain areas in Kansas are designated as prohibited places for carrying a firearm even for individuals who possess a valid permit. Specifically, schools and government buildings fall into this category. Kansas law prohibits the carrying of firearms in certain sensitive locations to promote safety and security. Schools are considered high-risk environments where the presence of firearms could pose a danger to children and educational staff. Additionally, government buildings often host sensitive government operations and personnel, making it crucial to limit access to firearms in these areas to maintain public safety. While other places may have regulations regarding firearms (such as private businesses that choose to post a ban), the restrictions in schools and government facilities are expressly defined under state law, making them indisputable prohibited areas for carrying permitted firearms. This clarification emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding specific locations where carrying a firearm may not be permitted despite having a concealed carry permit.
