Kansas received more than 9,800 concealed carry applications in the last fiscal year

The State of Kansas received more than 9,800 applications for concealed carry licenses in the last fiscal year, the Kansas Attorney General’s office said in a news release Tuesday.

Earlier this year the Kansas Legislature passed a law allowing eligible Kansans to carry concealed weapons without a license. Between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015, the state’s Concealed Carry Licensing Unit received 9,805 applications.

Since the program’s start in 2006 more than 100,000 applications have been submitted, the release said. More than 90,000 Kansans currently have active concealed carry permits.
