Of the 50 states in the U.S., Kansas is one of the easier places to purchase a gun. Unlike some other states, Kansas does not require a permit to buy or possess a firearm, and there is no waiting period for purchasing a gun. This means that you can walk into a gun store and walk out with a new firearm without having to wait or jump through any extra hoops.
There are, however, some restrictions on who can purchase a gun in Kansas. For example, you must be at least 21 years old to buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer, and 18 years old to buy a long gun (rifle or shotgun). You also cannot purchase a gun if you have been convicted of certain felonies, misdemeanors, or domestic violence crimes.
If you meet the age and background requirements, buying a gun in Kansas is a relatively simple process. You can purchase a gun from a private individual, a gun store, or at a gun show. Private sellers are not required to conduct a background check on the buyer, but federally licensed gun dealers must run a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

You must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer in Kansas. If you are 18 years of age, you may purchase a shotgun or rifle. To do so, you must present a state-issued photo identification proving your age and complete a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Form 4473. You will also be required to undergo a background check. For more information, please contact the Kansas State Police.
