The Kansas State Rifle Association (KSRA) was organized in 1928. It is composed of men, women and youth who have one thing in common, they want to protect their constitutionally guaranteed right to own, bear and use firearms for legal activities and sports. Whether your interests are hunting, collecting, target shooting or self-protection, you need to join together with us in order to help protect the right to continue these activities. KSRA works at the state level to organize the efforts to maintain these rights. KSRA is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, Civilian Marksmanship Program and works with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. KSRA represents Kansas gun owners in the legislature. We led the drive to pass a State Law prohibiting harassment of law-abiding hunters, trappers and other sportsmen. We have worked to help bring pro-gun bills before the legislature; bills that protect shooting ranges from encroaching development; bills that would allow responsible citizens to carry concealed firearms for their personal protection; bills to preempt local jurisdictions from infringing on your rights and bills that favor the preservation of hunting.
