Chapter 75.--STATE DEPARTMENTS; PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES Article 7c.--FIREARMS

      75-7c03.   License to carry concealed firearm; issuance; form; display on demand of law enforcement officer; reciprocity. (a) The attorney general shall issue licenses to carry concealed weapons to persons qualified as provided by this act. Such licenses shall be valid throughout the state for a period of four years from the date of issuance.

      (b)   The license shall be a separate card, in a form prescribed by the attorney general, that is approximately the size of a Kansas driver's license and shall bear the licensee's signature, name, address, date of birth and driver's license number or nondriver's identification card number except that the attorney general shall assign a unique number for military applicants described in subsection (a)(1)(B) of K.S.A. 2009 Supp. 75-7c05, and amendments thereto. At all times when the licensee is in actual possession of a concealed weapon, the licensee shall carry the license to carry concealed weapons which shall constitute the license to carry a concealed weapon. On demand of a law enforcement officer, the licensee shall display the license to carry a concealed weapon and proper identification. Verification by a law enforcement officer that a person holds a valid license to carry a concealed weapon may be accomplished by a record check using the person's driver's license information or the person's concealed carry license number.

      The license of any person who violates the provisions of this subsection shall be suspended for not less than 30 days upon the first violation and shall be revoked for not less than five years upon the second or a subsequent violation.

      (c)   A valid license, issued by any other state or the District of Columbia, to carry concealed weapons shall be recognized as valid in this state, but only while the holder is not a resident of Kansas, if the attorney general determines that standards for issuance of such license or permit by such state or district are equal to or greater than the standards imposed by this act. The attorney general shall maintain and publish a list of such states and district which the attorney general determines have standards equal to or greater than the standards imposed by this act.
