Under Kansas law, a person may transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle without any permit required, regardless of whether the loaded firearm is stored in a container or transported in plain view.¹ Since July 1, 2014, Kansas has prohibited a city or county from enforcing local laws regulating the transportation of a firearm in a vehicle.²

No employer may prohibit possession of a handgun in a private vehicle, even if parked on the employer’s premises.³
