The Libertarian Party of KS has officially challenged Lenexa’s open carry ban.
If you live, work, or have dealings with Lenexa please contact the Mayor and Council urging them to review their weapons ordinance and make changes that comply with state law.
Remind them that there have been two KS Attorney General Opinions dealing with open carry and that Wichita and Overland Park recently changed their ordinances to comply with those opinions and state law.
Please remember to be completely professional and respectful in your communications with our elected officials.
