A bar bouncer with no history of breaking the law got involved in a fracas, faced with two threatening patrons. The bouncer pulled a gun and fired a warning shot into the air. He now has a criminal record that could follow him for the next 10 years.

Two questions: (1) Did the bouncer have a CCW permit? and (2) If he did, are bar/tavern employees exempt from the provision that no firarms may be carried in/on a premises licensed to serve or sell alcohol beverages?
It took a while to try and run down answers. According to court records, it is not known if he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. That was not considered relevant in the court case. When he pulled it out and fired it, it was aggravated assault. To answer the second question I could not find an exception in the Kansas law for employees of drinking establishments.
