Conceal Carry Licensing
Kansas allows most adults age 21 and older who may legally possess a firearm to carry a concealed handgun without a permit under "constitutional carry" laws. Kansas still offers a Concealed Carry Handgun License (CCHL), which can be beneficial for reciprocity with other states and certain legal protections. Individuals ages 18-20 must obtain a license to carry concealed.
The Labette County Sheriff's Office processes Concealed Carry Permits Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents can obtain an application on the Kansas Attorney General's Website.
Applicants must provide fingerprints, photo identification, written documentation of completion of approved safety course, along with a cashier's check or money order for $32.50 made payable to the Labette County Sheriff's Office.
Firearms remain prohibited in some locations such as federal buildings and certain secured public facilities.
Effective July 1, 2023, the application fee provided by law is $32.50 payable to the Sheriff of the applicant's county of residence.
More information, applications, FAQs, and reciprocity details are available through the official Kansas Attorney General website:
