Confused Deputy
DW,,,,,
I'm a former Deputy of the Wandotte County Sheriff's dept. This gets complicated but let me explain one thing at a time.
I'am a former Deputy because of the STUPIDITY of the current administration associated with the Sheriff's Dept. I was not fired or disciplined or anything like that, but knowing the Dept like I do I can see them advising you of such garbage. Most of the Deputy's (not all ) are very inept about such firearm laws and have a badge heavy tuff cool guy attitude. There are about 10% of the Front office Deputys that do 100% of the work,,the rest spend their day as lazy government employees. I left because there is a concern with public view and a discern with implementing law and order and the wellness of the residents in this County.
Traditionally a commissioned deputy in Kansas can only enforce state laws,,,thus, there are not any oc carry restrictions in the State Law so a Deputy can not prosecute a civilian for OC.
The difference in Wyandotte (Kansas City Ks city limits) is that they have concocked the Unified Goverment of Kansas City, Ks,,,that means that a Deputy can cite someone under any Kansas City Kansas city Ordinance. I wrote all my cites under KCK ordinances,,,ie traffic and otherwise. There for you can not OC per KCK city ordinance and a Deputy can enforce that ordinance. In the Wyandotte County citys of Bonner Springs and Edwardsville a Deputy can not arrest someone for OC and can not enforce those citys ordinances. When I stop a vehicle for a violation in Bonner or Edwardsville, I writ on a County ticket and the violator goes to the court house to pay the ticket. If it is in the KCK city I cite on a City ticket form and the violator goes to city court.
The current Sheriff is a X Kansas City Kansas cop and most KCK cops are Anti and he is, The current Undersheriff is a X Highway Patrolman and is very anti,,,Both are staunch Democrats and I assure you the Undersheriff is a Obama supporter.
Most cops in Wyandotte County proper would not know how to handle a OC situation,,,,,I advise to not do it and carry concealed.
Statements above are of my personal opinion and just mine only.
