Link doesn't work.
Called the JCPD Chief of Police some time ago... I think it was in November, but still have yet to receive an answer. Individual answers from officers varied. Sheriffs Office said it was a local matter and referred me to JCPD.

Just got off the phone with a deputy at the Geary County Sheriff's Office... Simply put by the officer, Geary County abides by the State's OC laws, but Junction City and Grandview Plaza ordinances make OC "illegal".

Most police officers aren't lawyers so I would get another opinion besides the deputy just to make sure.
You can view the Junction City weapons ordinance at http://www.jcks.com/ordinance/index.html Then click on Title II. Public health, Safety and Welfare.
A PDF will pop up with all the city codes 133 page on the PDF so might take awhile. Scroll down to page 65, 66, 67
I am not a lawyer and don't pretend to be. Looks like unloaded open carry is a possiblity at the very least?
