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.
As I read this, the rifle could still be carried into the business, but the owner and/or any employee could ask that person to leave if the business did not like that.... |
As I read this and what Wordy posted I see statutes that are specifically written to deal with concealed carry and not the situation that Zeb is referring to. I believe that event was maybe three years ago and I’m going to assume that someone in that case did some checking for that situation under the laws at the time. There may be something else not related to CCW that covers his situation. And whatever was looked at then needs to be reexamined because provisions in the CCW law might have changed it.
We still have the common sense issue that if someone, mentally unstable or not, that is intent on shooting up the place isn’t going to care about some sign. They aren’t going to jumping through hoops and waiting for a permission slip to hide a gun under their coat either.
I think that when laws get written there is too much attention to an object (gun) and too little attention paid to intentions and actions.
