of OC and CC as they apply in your fine state. Looks like our LADY GATOR Softball teams is playing really well (1/1), so we're thinking we're driving to Oklahoma City the end of the May. For some reason your AG/Legislature won't accept my MT Resident CWL (or my FL non-resident), so I HAVE to OC when I get out of the car in the rest-stops.

If someone could kindly post a link to the applicable section of the on-line Kansas code, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am so glad you found that statute. I tried to find it on a search yesterday and missed it somehow. I was curious about the open carry, as well, even though I have a concealed weapon permit. The concealed carry statute itself is pages and pages. I have to carry a copy with me as there are so many places one cannot carry a firearm. Combine that with the signs, I always said it was good basically for a few stores and fast food places, and to keep it in my car.
