Phil at work at the gun show.
Phil's October 2007 KSAS Newsletter.
Photo by J. Macklin, RAZAR cellphone camera.Governor signed two more pro-gunrights bills April 21, 2008 that Phil got throught the legislature, with lots of help from a majority of both Houses.
Kansas residents will be able to own Class III firearms beginning July 1, 2008 this includes many useful types of firearms, such as the old Marble's Game-Getter, a packable rifle designed to carry on a bicycle or in a pack. For those with deep pockets, they can buy a machinegun and boost the economy with ammo purchases!!!
Also, the Emergency Power Bill is law effective July 1. This is the Katrina/Greensburg inspired "no you can't confiscate my guns" law. Thanks to Phil and all the legislators who who helped pass this.

AVOID UNARMED VICTIM ZONES
YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT
The people think the Constitution
protects their rights;
But government sees it as an obstacle to be
overcome.

U.S. Court of Appeals in the matter of the Washington, D.C. gun ban.
The Supreme Court will be hearing the case, probably in March 2008. A decision may be issued before the November General/Presidential Election.

Current Wichita Municipal Code on-line
Of interest is Chapter 5.88 and 5.89,
The current Wichita firearms law is linked below on this website .
Kansas concealed carry handgun permit now recognized in twenty-two other states.
Missouri Attorney General webpage with a very useful interactive map that will take you to pretty much any state's official CCW/self-defense web site.
Another useful site, but as always, check to verify accuracy and currency. Handgun Law US with several useful interactive maps.
Using the interactive map indicates that a Kansas resident, with a CCH, who gets a Utah non-resident permit can carry in about 40 states.
UPDATED Kansas guns and self-defense laws as of April 2007 Publication of laws passed in 2007 on the statutes pages has not yet been completed.
UPDATE March 2007 Training and applications proceeding smoothly. Permits being issued in about 50-60 days from application being submitted to your local sheriff. Sedgwick County CCW procedures
To see what qualification is required for retired deputies to carry nation-wide Retired qualification.The Kansas CCW course and qualification is simple and should not be a problem for most shooters. A total of 25 rounds from any caliber and type of handgun is required. The target used is the fat "bowling pin" TQ-15 target at 3, 7, and 10 yards with no time limit. Passing is 18 of 25 in the scoring area 72%. I did not see anybody fail. Practice on paper plates and keep them in the center area and you'll do fine.

§ 4. Bear arms; armies. The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security;
but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated,
and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.
