Jeez, people! The guy asked a simple question. It doesn't need to come to this, and it doesn't reflect very well on us.

I mean, without Canada, we wouldn't have Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, the McKenzie Brothers, John Candy, Wayne Gretzky or Rush. What kind of a world would that be?

In all seriousness, the laws for CCW vary from state to state. Resident aliens can get permits in Georgia and Florida. IIRC, there are provisions in Tennessee and Kentucky as well.

Unfortunately, Kansas as a state is new to the concept of issuing carry permits, and their system is still working out the kinks. Contact local advocacy groups and see if they can get legislation sponsored in the state legislature to change the matter.

I don't know of any offhand, but Google mentions these folks. Wouldn't hurt to drop them an email.

Edit: Clayton Cramer brings up an interesting point (actually, he brings up many). If the Supreme Court decides to incorporate the 2nd Amendment next year, then this section becomes germane to your situation:
Quote:
(...) nor shall any State deprive any person [not just "citizens" specified in the first clause] of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
