| Quick question. Does anyone know if the Kansas AG accepts Minnesota and/or Utah carry permits as proof of acceptable training? The Kansas AG website states that if you have proof of training (still have my training certificates for for MN and UT) from a state with equal or better training requirements they will accept that. The MN&UT trainings were pretty in depth, at least compared to other states, I'd just like to know if Kansas finds them acceptable. Basically, I'd like to avoid retaking a class. |

Did that earlier this week, still waiting on a response. |

Quick answer is NO but maybe
Get the 180 day recipe and see what it says from the AG web site Recognized Non-Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun Licenses Beginning July 1, 2013, the State of Kansas will recognize all “valid” concealed carry licenses (or permits, cards, etc.) that are issued by another State or the District of Columbia. HOWEVER, there are two important caveats to that general rule: (1) this recognition only extends to individuals who are not residents of Kansas. If you are passing through Kansas to another state, or staying in Kansas temporarily for business or pleasure – a valid CCH license from another jurisdiction will be honored beginning July 1, 2013; and (2) this recognition will only allow the license holder to carry a concealed handgun. Any other defensive weapons carried by the non-Kansas license holder must, as with all Kansas residents, be carried in accordance with Kansas law while they are within Kansas’ borders. If you are a new resident to Kansas – on or after July 1, 2010 – and possess a valid CCH license from another jurisdiction, you may apply for the Kansas CCH and obtain a 180-day receipt from the Attorney General’s office which will allow you to continue carrying with your non-Kansas CCH to continue carrying concealed while your Kansas CCH application is pending. Persons moving to Kansas may be allowed to bypass the state’s required handgun safety and training class if the training they received in another jurisdiction was equal to or greater than the Kansas training requirements. At a minimum, this training must include handgun safety, actual firing of handguns, and a review of laws governing the carrying of concealed handguns and the use of deadly force. A person applying for the Kansas license must provide a copy of their training certificate and proof that the training included the minimum requirements for recognition. The 180 day receipt will indicate whether or not the person is required to complete the Kansas training class. http://ag.ks.gov/public-safety/concealedcarry/out-of-state-license-recognition I know this did not answer your question but its the only answer I can get without contacting the AG office which you have already done. |

If your training consisted of a marksmanship test or range qualification then Kansas will more that likely accept it. Some states just issue without that requirement and those are the permits that will not qualify as acceptable training. That being said it is the decision of the AG office and they are the only ones that can provide you with an answer. |

Any response from the AG office? Nope, not yet. Going to submit my application tomorrow so I'll find out soon enough. |
