Kentucky carry?

[fullmetaljesus]

So I will be going to kentucky tomorrow, I took a look at the hand gun laws there but still had some questions.

Can i carry there like i do here OC or CC? I understand there are a few more places I can't carry, such as bars. But other than that what do I need to know?

thanks

Far as I know you can OC if you want.

One note, a friend of mine whom lives in Louisville told me recently that as of last year there is now a duty to inform if you are pulled over by LEO. But I have not yet been able to confirm that in any official capacity.

Here is KY's CCDW page

I carried there a few months ago on a trip down to Bowling Green, I CC and didnt get pulled over so I never had to inform.

The only thing that I ran into was the Corvette Mueseum had a no weapons sign, dont know if it had any legal standing or not.

I work in Kentucky quite a bit and the duty to inform is new to me. I have not heard or seen that anywhere else. The restaurants that serve alcohol by the drink clause is the main difference between Indiana and Kentucky, watch out for that one.

I've CC'd there. Most of the ppl I was with had guns laying in their consoles or seats. Pretty firearm friendly in western Kentucky.

Just called the state police down there, and got transfered around but finally came to a lady that told me i can carry OC or CC since I have my indiana lic. I just have to watch out for no gun signs, because those hold weight there. I can go to places like applebees but I have to be weary of the signs.

When we go to the tilted kilt, i might just leave the gun in the car.

You can Open Carry in Kentucky, no permit required. however, local LEO's don't always see it that way. that is STRAIGHT from my CCW iphone app.

With a permit, it is no issue whatsoever.

Not according to all the books and resources I can find. I am driving to Florida tonight, and Georgia is the only duty to inform state. Kentucky is not.

If you do travel quite a bit the ccw app is well worth the couple bucks. I have it for my Android phone. They have built links to all the states websites including FAQs.

So, my sister, who has no permits of any kind can carry her new Ruger in Kentucky?

That is why I was trying to verify through some creditable source. I haven't seen anything as of yet that says you have to inform. Everything I come across says no. I will probably call before the next time I head down there.

Since I originally posted this map on INGO, let me add... "be advised that it may be out of date". Check with Handgunlaw.us before you go.

It's probably a good idea to check any information given out to make sure it is current. In this case there seems to be a conflict whether Georgia is a must inform state or not.

I was in Cynthiana (north of Lexington) last week investigating a fire loss. An officer parked behined me and when I came back to my vehicle the first words out of his mouth where "what kinda gun you carry?" We discussed Smith M&P vs. Glock vs. Sig for about ten minutes. Nice guy. I guess he figured all Hoosiers 'are packin'.

I travel to Kentucky a lot and have never had a problem with OC or cops.
