Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline on Friday announced the 22 states with concealed-carry licenses that will be recognized.

The standards included requiring that licensees are at least 21, do not have pending arrests or charges for disqualifying acts, and have undergone a national fingerprint-based background check and training with firing exercises.

Based on a review of the applicable state laws and conversations with officials from each of the respective states, the following 22 states satisfy the requirements listed above:
