Part of their evolution is also a little funny. IIRC, Kansas did not initially have preemption and many of the cities had their own ordinances that created a lot of problems. That mostly occurred after KS made OC legal. I'm remembering something about Topeka, the capital, deleting an entire section of some of their laws for whatever reason and that city's laws restricting OC were buried in there. The city officials didn't realize it until a citizen that had decided to OC within city limits and was cited or arrested for it and fought it in court. Once they determined they no longer had a law against it they dropped the charges, I think, and the city council decided to let things be to see if there would be any problems before attempting to reenact any laws prohibiting OC again. After a year or two they didn't see any issues and just left it alone. I think KS also got state preemption after that sometime, but I'm not real sure about that.
