Thank you for joining us we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with
some foundational information about our Concealed Carry on Campus at Johnson County Community
College.
Our purpose is to provide a video series to compliment the implementation of our Campus
Carry by informing faculty, staff, students, and visitors of the legislation, our policy
and best practices in order to promote a safe and secure campus environment.
In this video we will provide an overview of Legislation, Our policy, What Can be Carried,
Who Can Carry, Reporting of Violations, Where Can a Handgun be Carried and Storing of a
Handgun.
Included will be scenarios and photos to help you better understand your rights and responsibilities
in the implementation of our policy.
Feel free to pause at any time.
Effective July 1, 2017 an authorized individual may carry a concealed handgun on or about
their person on the campus of an institution of higher education in Kansas.
It is the responsibility of the handgun holder to understand the Laws, Policies, Rules and
Regulations associated with a person's Concealed Carry responsibilities, rights and privileges.
After consulting with students, staff, and faculty regarding the nature of the student
population, specific safety considerations, and the uniqueness of the campus environment,
the Conceal and Carry Task force made recommendations to the Board of Trustees to adopt the policy.
With the approved policy, regulations and other provisions regarding the carrying of
concealed handguns by qualified individuals under Kansas Law on the campus, the following
concealed carry standards were adopted and implemented.
Who can carry and what can be carried?
Individuals who are 21 years of age who are in lawful possession of a gun with no restrictions
or prior record.
Only legally authorized handguns are permitted on campus.
Long guns are not authorized for conceal and carry.
Therefore they are not permitted on campus.
What is considered a violation of JCCC's concealed carry?
Partially visible or visible handguns do not meet the requirements of concealed carry,
and at a minimum would be a policy violation and should be reported.
These are examples of approved concealed carry.
Who do I report to about a concealed carry violation at JCCC?
Any person who believes someone has violated the JCCC conceal carry or has questions about
someone violating the campus
Concealed Carry should contact the Campus Police Department at (913) 469-2500 or extension
4111 from an interior telephone.
Where can I carry a handgun?
Individuals will be able to conceal carry in public buildings and areas on a JCCC campus,
except where temporary Adequate Security Measures (ASMs) are in place.
If temporary ASMs are in place, signs will clearly identify where concealed carry is
prohibited.
Can I store my handgun?
A handgun may only be stored in your private vehicle, when the vehicle is locked and the
handgun is secured in a non-visible location.
A handgun may not be stored in an office, nor a work area, nor any college locker.
