What is the minimum age for concealed carry in Kansas?

18 years
21 years
25 years
30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Kansas, the minimum age to obtain a concealed carry license is 21 years. This is in line with federal regulations that restrict the purchase of handguns to individuals who are at least 21 years old. The law reflects the understanding that individuals at this age are generally considered to be more responsible and mature enough to handle the responsibilities associated with carrying a concealed firearm. This age requirement applies not only to obtaining a conceal carry license but also encompasses the age needed to purchase handguns from licensed dealers. It's important to note that while individuals aged 18 years can possess and carry long guns (rifles and shotguns) in various contexts, the threshold for handguns is set at 21 years, reinforcing the need for higher standards regarding more concealable firearms. This also aligns with many other states' laws that regulate concealed carry and set the age requirement at a similar level.
