Just had a quick question on laws involving the open carry in & around Wichita. Do you have to have a concealed carry permit to openly carry in sedgwick county including the city of Haysville, Derby, Goddard, Wichita? I do travel there quite often to visit family & friends. Just wanted to get some info before i do start carrying openly over there.

Thanks
Jay

Inside the city of Wichita you do not need a CCP from the state to open carry on public or private property, but you must to carry inside a vehicle. Any carry inside a vehicle is "concealed" according to the city so the firearm must be unloaded and out of reach.

As far as I know Wichita is the only south central kansas municipality with this law, elsewhere in the state OC is legal without KS CCP however I would check in each city.

But anyways thanks for the information on the subject.
