Section IV: Definitions
Felony disqualifications: ANY prior felony conviction (even if expunged) must be disclosed.
What constitutes a “felony” offense is judged in accordance with the law where the offense occurred. What constitutes a “conviction” for that felony will
generally be judged by Kansas law. An active felony prohibition from another jurisdiction will likely preclude eligibility for a Kansas CCH license in
accordance with Federal law.
NOTE: Anyone with a prior felony history – whether an adult conviction or juvenile adjudication, no matter where it occurred, and even if that history has been
expunged or pardoned – should consult with private legal counsel to determine their concealed carry eligibility. The Concealed Carry Licensing Unit cannot
offer legal advice to individual citizens about their CCH eligibility or their ability to lawfully possess firearms in general.
NOTE: Any person still subject to the terms of a diversion agreement for a felony violation is prohibited from licensure.

“Misdemeanor crime involving domestic violence” means: (1) a misdemeanor under, Federal, State or Tribal law; (2) that has as an element the use
of force, attempted use of force or threatened use of a deadly weapon; (3) that was committed by: a current or former spouse, parent or guardian of the
victim; a person who shares a child with the victim; a person who is living with or has lived with the victim as a spouse, parent or guardian; or a person
who is similarly situated to a spouse, parent or guardian to the victim.
NOTE: The misdemeanor being violated DOES NOT have to have the term “domestic” in it at all (this means a simple assault, battery or disorderly conduct can be
sufficient even if pled down from a “domestic” assault, battery, or disorderly conduct charge).
NOTE: Under Kansas law, an expungement does not completely remove the conviction from the person’s record therefore an expungement or setting-aside of the
conviction will not suffice to remove the federal prohibition under 18 USC 922(g)(9). Also, in Kansas, a person never loses their civil rights for such a misdemeanor
conviction, therefore they cannot have those rights “restored.” Therefore, only a pardon may restore an individual’s ability to possess firearms if they have a qualifying
922(g)(9) conviction.

“Adjudicated as a mental defective” means: a finding by a court, board, commission or other lawful authority that a person, as a result of marked
subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition or disease: (a) Is a danger to himself or to others; or (b) Lacks the mental capacity to
contract or manage his own affairs. The term shall include: a finding of insanity by a court in a criminal case; and those persons found incompetent to
stand trial or found not guilty by reason of lack of mental responsibility pursuant to articles 50a and 72b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C.
850a, 872b.
“Restraining order” means: a court order that restrains the person from: (a) harassing, stalking or threatening (i) an intimate partner or (ii) child of the
intimate partner or the restrained person; or (b) engaging in conduct that places the intimate partner or child in reasonable fear of bodily injury. The order
must be one issued after the restrained person received notice and had an opportunity to be heard and must include a finding that the restrained person
poses a credible threat to the physical safety of the intimate partner or child; or the order must include a specific prohibition on the use, attempted use or
threatened use of physical force against the intimate partner or child.
“Retired law enforcement officer” means: a “law enforcement officer,” as defined by K.S.A. 21-5111. A retired law enforcement officer must include a
letter from the head, or designee, of the retiring agency attesting that the individual retired in good standing, retired for reasons other than mental
instability, and that the individual has a non-forfeitable right to benefits under the retirement plan of the agency. Only law enforcement officers that were
last certified by the Kansas Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (or similar body from another jurisdiction) less than 8 years prior to
applying here are exempt from the required training class.
New resident to Kansas with a valid non-Kansas concealed carry license: a new resident to Kansas may lawfully continue to carry concealed
handguns so long as they are 21 years of age or older and lawful to possess firearms. A new resident to Kansas with a valid non-Kansas concealed carry
handgun license and proof of prior training that is equal to or greater than Kansas’ training requirement may seek an exemption from the Kansas training
class required for the Kansas concealed carry license. Along with their application, Applicants seeking this training exemption must attach a copy of their
valid (unexpired and unrevoked) non-Kansas CCHL and proof of training (copies of the training certificate and course outline/materials). At a minimum,
the non-resident training course must include instruction on the laws of self-defense; and demonstrate training and proficiency in the safe handling, storage
and actual firing of handguns. New resident applicants will receive a letter confirming that the applicant is exempt from the Kansas CCHL training class;
OR alert them that they are required to complete the Kansas CCHL training class.
“Dependent” of active duty military member (ADM) means: a resident of the household of an ADM who financially depends on the ADM in whole or
substantial part. ADM and their eligible dependents residing in Kansas are not required to surrender their non-resident driver’s license or state issued ID in
order to acquire a Kansas concealed carry license. Note: Effective July 1, 2013, active duty military and their dependents stationed in Kansas may
continue to carry concealed in Kansas if they have: (1) a non-resident driver’s license, and (2) a valid non-Kansas concealed carry license issued by
another state or the District of Columbia. Active duty military are advised to carry their military ID along with their non-resident DL and CCHL.
Exceptions to Nonimmigrant Alien Prohibition: An “alien” is anyone not a citizen or “national of the U.S.” A “national of the U.S.” is someone who
owes permanent allegiance to the U.S. A “nonimmigrant visa” is a visa properly issued to an alien as an eligible nonimmigrant by a competent officer.
Nonimmigrant aliens may apply for a Kansas concealed carry handgun license if the alien: (1) is admitted to the U.S. for lawful hunting or sporting
purposes and in possession of a hunting license/permit issued in the U.S.; (2) is an official representative of a foreign government who is accredited to the
U.S. Government or their Government’s mission to an international organization having its headquarters in the U.S.; (3) is an official of a foreign
government or a U.S. Dept of State designated “distinguished foreign visitor”; (4) is foreign law enforcement of a friendly foreign government and here on
official law enforcement duties; or (5) has received a firearms waiver from the Attorney General of the United States. (See 18 U.S.C § 922(y)(2) for
additional exceptions)
“Unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” means: A person who uses a controlled substance and has lost the power of self-control
with reference to the use of controlled substance; and any person who is a current user of a controlled substance in a manner other than as prescribed by
a licensed physician. Convictions in the last year, admissions of use, multiple arrests in the past 5 years (including one in the most recent year) can all be
used (in addition to other scenarios) as evidence that one is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
Permanently Expired Licenses: A license is permanently expired if not renewed within six (6) months following the expiration date.
permanently expired license must submit a new application through the Sheriff in the county where they reside.
