Can non-residents apply for a concealed carry permit in Kansas?

  1. Yes, if they are employed in Kansas

  2. No, only Kansas residents can apply

  3. Yes, if they have a permit from their home state

  4. Yes, without any restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are employed in Kansas

In Kansas, non-residents can indeed apply for a concealed carry permit if they are employed in the state. This provision allows non-resident individuals who have a job in Kansas to meet certain requirements set by the state law. The rationale is that employment ties an individual to the state, thus justifying the opportunity to hold a concealed carry permit. While other options suggest different scenarios, they do not align with the current laws governing concealed carry permits in Kansas. For instance, the concept of being solely limited to Kansas residents for permits does not account for employment considerations, and having a permit from one's home state on its own does not ensure eligibility without meeting specific Kansas criteria. The option that suggests there are no restrictions is misleading, as there are specific requirements that must be met by non-residents, including proof of employment.
