According to
www.handgunlaw.us, there is no duty to inform in Kansas. See page 8 of the link to Kansas.
The Handgunlaw site doesn't cite a law that says that ... for good reason. Laws generally don't tell us what's legal, they tell us what's NOT legal. If there's no law that says you must inform ... then you don't have to inform. That makes it a personal decision whether or not to tell an officer something he doesn't need to know.
California is different (naturally). Although there is no state law in California requiring you to inform an officer, according to Handgunlaw:
Quote:
Must Inform Officer
–
There is no statute stating you must have your Permit/License in your possession when carrying. Handgunlaw.us recommends you always have your Permit/License with you when carrying. I have been hearing from CCW holders in CA stating that some Issuing Authorities are putting a restriction on issued Permit/Licenses that the holder must inform any Police Office that contacts them on any type of official capacity. CA law does not state you have to inform an officer on any official contact with them. If an issuing authority puts that restriction on your permit/license then you must inform.
