State Gun Laws

Laws current as of
November 15, 2023

If the abuser’s gun rights are taken away in the protection from abuse order, what happen to the gun?

Unfortunately, Kansas does not have a specific law that requires law enforcement to remove firearms from individuals who are prohibited from having them.1 You may want to specifically ask the judge to include a term in the protection from abuse order that says how the abuser has to give up (relinquish) his/her firearms.
