Question: Do I need to complete a Concealed Carry Handgun Training course to receive a Concealed Carry License?

Answer: Unless you're submitting a reapplication, you will need proof of sufficient handgun training from once of the following:  Kansas CCHL training course, Retired law enforcement officer or sufficient handgun training from another jurisdiction. For more details, see our Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun Training page or view the Kansas Concealed Carry Application form. 

The Gun Garage offers Kansas CCHL training courses. See our Training Course Calendar for upcoming courses or give us a call at 785-246-GUNS.
Question: Is the process different for Active Duty Military Members or a dependant of an Active Duty Military member?

Answer: A “dependent” of an ADM is a resident of the household of an ADM who financially depends on the ADM in whole or substantial part. An ADM or dependent stationed in Kansas may still apply for a Kansas CCHL even if their permanent State of residence (PSR) is other than Kansas; they must simply submit a photocopy of their non-Kansas DL or ID card as well as the orders currently stationing them in Kansas. To aid law enforcement, such an ADM or dependent fitting this residency exception should carry their military ID, non-resident DL/ID and their Kansas CCHL. Also, effective July 1, 2016, an ADM who is a Kansas resident/PSR but stationed in a State other than Kansas may still apply for a Kansas CCHL. Kansas law requires such an ADM to have their fingerprints taken by the military police (MP) where they are stationed and then have the MP office forward the complete application to the Sheriff of the ADM’s Kansas county of residence. See, K.S.A. 75-7c05(i).
