The rules have changed.
A Kansas law that took effect last week gives most people 21 and older the option of carrying a concealed handgun in public on their person, whether that be a six-shooter in a holster, a semiautomatic handgun in a waistband or a pistol in a purse.
The law legalizes “the concealed carry of a firearm without a concealed carry license issued by the State, as long as that individual is not prohibited from possessing a firearm under either federal or state law,” Topeka police Lt. Colleen Stuart said Thursday. |

Can someone confirm that this applies to non residents as well as residents? Every article I have seen about this references residents don't need a license. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
