    Going to wedding in Kentucky this weekend, and wondering if there are any Gotchas in their gun laws (like cali where it cant be loaded). I know they honor our permits...

    I carry in KY all the time and I usually OC or very sloppily CC. Their laws are very similar to ours. No schools, or government buildings, stuff like that are the same. No bars, unless it's a restraunt that serves liquor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. Don't want to give the man bad advise.

    This pretty much sums it up. Very much like the good ol' Hoosier state. I visit often for work and family and never have any problems. Have fun!

    The main "gotcha" in Kentucky law is the dress code requirement.

    E.g., here is the only way to legally carry concealed in Kentucky:
