What Is a Kansas Firearm Bill of Sale Form?

A Kansas firearm bill of sale is a document that proves a gun purchase and transfer. It is a form that mitigates risk for the seller and buyer.

Creating a Kansas firearm bill of sale can protect both parties by proving that the transaction happened.

A firearm bill of sale is a document used to record a gun’s purchase and ownership transfer. The sale of a personal firearm usually does not carry the same liability as a dealer or purchasing at a gun show.

The seller’s responsible for NOT allowing a firearm to be sold to a convicted felon.

What Are the Requirements for Selling a Firearm in Kansas?

Additional Kansas Firearm Laws

It would be best to remember the following Kansas firearm laws when selling a firearm.

Who Cannot Purchase a Firearm in Kansas?

In Kansas, people under 18 cannot purchase a firearm with a barrel less than 12 inches long. 

Kan. Stat. § 21-6301 also prohibits any person from purchasing a firearm if they:

  • Use and are addicted to a controlled substance
  • Have been involuntarily committed for mental illness or alcohol or substance abuse
  • Are a fugitive from justice
  • Are an undocumented person who is unlawfully in the United States
  • Have been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor offense within the last five years
  • Have used a firearm to commit a “person felony” (a felony committed upon or against a person, such as rape, homicide, kidnapping, or battery)

Does Kansas Have a Waiting Period for Firearm Sales?

Can You Buy a Gun in Kansas Without Registering It?

Yes, you can buy a gun in Kansas without registering it.

Does a Firearm Bill of Sale Have to Be Notarized in Kansas?

There is no requirement to notarize a firearm bill of sale.

However, you should notarize your firearm bill of sale for an added layer of authenticity and to protect yourself from fraud.

Is a Record of Firearms sent to Police in Kansas?

No, a record of firearms is not required in Kansas.

Concealed and Open Carry Laws in Kansas

After Kansas passed House Bill 2058 in 2021, anyone 21 or over may conceal and carry a firearm without a permit.

Individuals aged 18 to 20 must have a valid Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun License (CCHL) to carry concealed in Kansas.

The state is a permitless carry state for those over 18 for open carry.

How to Apply to Conceal Carry a Firearm in Kansas

Although you do not need a permit to conceal carry a firearm in Kansas if you are 21 or over, you should register for a Kansas CCHL if you plan to carry and use your gun outside Kansas.

You can apply for a Kansas CCHL by:

  1. Completing a firearm training course
  2. Reading the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act
  3. Completing the CCHL application
  4. Take the completed application and the following to the Sheriff’s Office in your county of residence:
    • A check of $100.00 payable to the Office of the Attorney General and a check of $32.50 payable to the Sheriff of the applicant’s county of residence
    • Proof of sufficient handgun training
    • A 2″ × 2″ passport-style color photograph of yourself taken within the last 30 days
    • A photocopy of your Kansas identification card or driver’s license

You will receive a Provisional Concealed Carry License if you are 18 to 20 years old. You will receive a standard CCHL if you are 21 or older. (Kan. Stat. § 75-7c04)

Kansas Firearm Reciprocity

According to Kan. Stat. § 75-7c03, Kansas recognizes permits from other states only if the holder is not a Kansas resident.

Currently, all states recognize the Kansas CCHL except for the following:

  • California
  • Connecticut
  • Hawaii
  • Illinois
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Oregon
  • Rhode Island

How to Write a Firearm Bill of Sale in Kansas

If you want to create a Kansas firearm bill of sale, follow these steps to get started:

Step 1 – Conduct a Background Check

Kansas does not require background checks for gun sales. However, a background check will minimize the risk of selling your firearm to someone who should not have a gun.

Per Kan. Stat. § 21-6301, selling a firearm to someone prohibited from purchasing or owning firearms in Kansas is illegal.

Step 2 – Meet with a Potential Buyer

Arrange an in-person meeting with a potential buyer to check their ID and verify they are from Kansas.

You cannot sell a firearm across state lines without sending it to a licensed firearm dealer for a state background check.

Step 3 – Ask for a Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun License (CCHL)

To minimize the risk of selling to someone who should not have a firearm, ask the buyer for a valid Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun License (CCHL).

Buyers with CCHLs are likelier to be trustworthy since getting a CCHL requires a background check and firearm training.

Step 4 – Complete a Firearm Bill of Sale Form

The next step is to complete and sign a firearm bill of sale.

Remember to include the full names of the seller and buyer, the date of purchase, a complete description of the firearm being sold, and how much money was paid for the transaction.

Both parties need to sign the bill of sale and consider getting the signatures notarized.

Summary

Kansas does not require firearm owners to use a bill of sale when selling their firearm to another person. However, firearm owners and buyers should use a firearm bill of sale to protect themselves and record the transaction.

Many gun owners create firearm bills of sale from scratch. However, that can take a lot of energy and time, especially when you have never done it.

Consider using LegalTemplates’ firearm bill of sale builder to speed up the process.
