Law will allow Kansas public employees to carry concealed firearms on the job
Kansas public employees who go out into the community will be allowed to carry concealed weapons on the job starting in July.
HB 2502, which takes effect July 1, includes a number of gun-related provisions, including one that prohibits public employers, such as the city of Wichita, from restricting employees from carrying concealed weapons on the job.
Public employees were already allowed to carry concealed firearms into government offices in most cases. Now they will be allowed to carry their weapon when they go out into the community as part of their duties.
That means that a city code inspector or firefighter, for example, could carry a pistol when he or she drives through the streets of Wichita. School districts will be exempted from this provision.
