Under Kansas law, who is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

Convicted felons
Persons under 21
Non-residents
All of the above

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

The correct answer is that convicted felons are prohibited from possessing a firearm under Kansas law. This restriction is in place due to concerns about public safety and the likelihood of reoffense among individuals who have previously committed serious crimes. Convicted felons may lose their right to possess firearms as part of their sentencing, based on the severity of their offenses. While other groups such as persons under 21 and non-residents face specific regulations when it comes to firearm possession, the outright prohibition is primarily focused on those with felony convictions in Kansas. Individuals under 21 may encounter restrictions when it comes to purchasing certain firearms, but they may still possess them in other contexts, depending on the circumstances. Non-residents may also have certain limitations, especially regarding the carrying of concealed firearms, but they are not outright banned from firearm possession. Thus, the focus on convicted felons as a prohibited category aligns with legal definitions regarding firearm ownership in the state.
