Can business owners restrict the concealed carry of firearms by Licensees
through posting their property?
o
Answer: Yes. However, as per K.S.A. 75-7c11 (as amended by H.B. 2528,
published May 3, 2007 in Kansas Register Vol. 26, No. 18, p. 666) private
business owners as well as city, county, or political subdivisions may only
restrict the concealed carry of firearms within the building or buildings of that entity.
•
If I’m licensed to carry concealed and I enter a business that is not posted as
prohibiting concealed carry, do I have to leave if the owner or an employee sees
my gun and asks me to leave?
o
Answer: Yes. While you would not be violating the concealed carry law, if
you refuse to leave an establishment that has asked you to leave, you could be cited for trespassing. Trespassing occurs when you remain in an
establishment after the owner or employee tells you to leave (K.S.A. 21-
3721).
•
Can an employer restrict the concealed carry of firearms by Licensees?
o
Answer: Yes. Through personnel policies an employer may prohibit
Licensees from carrying concealed while on the premises of the employer’s
business or while otherwise engaged in the duties of the Licensee’s employ
except that employer’s are not allowed to prohibit Licensee’s from storing
firearms in the Licensee’s private means of conveyance even if parked on the employer’s premises.
- Cities and counties still have the authority to regulate the open carry of
firearms “on one’s person.” These local regulations apply to concealed
carry licensees as well as the general public.
Posting of certain properties
- The requirements for “no concealed carry” signage also changed with the passage of HB 2528.
In order to bring charges of unlawful concealed carry against a licensee, those properties previously enumerated under
K.S.A. 75-7c10 (schools, bars, churches, school & professional athletic
events, churches, etc.) must now be posted. One exception to this is the
provision regarding carrying in or on areas prohibited by Federal law;
these areas are under no obligation to post their properties.
These are just some parts of the act and information I glanced through. Note in that last bullet point that the sinage is referred to as no CONCEALED carry and not referred to as no firearms.
Basically if you put up a 16"x20" sign on your door saying NO CONCEALED CARRY ALLOWED HERE! I can still carry and not be legally prosecuted. There must be a legal sign.
