Weapons Transportation

Kansas law does not prohibit the "plain view" transportation of weapons in passenger vehicles. However, certain jurisdictions within our state have restrictions in this regard. Some cities and / or counties require weapons to be unloaded. Others prohibit transportation of weapons inside the passenger compartment. In order to comply with local laws pertaining to weapons transportation, you need to contact law enforcement officials in the area(s) you plan to travel.
