You are good to go in Kentucky!

Kentucky is a CCW state, don't OC.

Kentucky is open carry friendly, without a permit, and you can carry in your glove compartment with out a License, or permit, I oc'd when I lived there, before the permit system...also I believe at some funerals in Kentucky, guns are mandatory......seriously sorry for your loss

What about establishment laws like in Ohio? After taking my Utah class I found out that Ohio is only slightly better then California when it comes to restaurants and officer notification laws.

 

[turnerdye1]

Read the handgunlaw.us website and you will be fine. They have quirky laws like not being able to go into any place that serves alcohol. It does not say you can't drink but rather you can't be in there with your firearm period. It is a very stingy state to say the least

well im only 19 so im not too worried about the alchohol laws lol

It doesn't matter if you are drinking in Ohio but I do not know about Kentucky which is why I brought it up. You can't go into an Applebee's in Ohio if they serve alcohol on the premises.

Just make sure you are allowed to carry, at your age, in another state. Look up the laws on the links that previous posts give you first.

 

[kevman65]

Unless Kentucky has changed it, you can legally be in a bar at 18. You can't buy or consume alcohol but you can be in there. If you go in, per their laws, you are prohibited to carry.

What is the basis for this statement?

Don't forget that in Kentucky you must dress like this:

I say, I say.

 

[turnerdye1]

This is the second thread today in which you've made this claim about another state & have been flat out wrong about it.

What are you doing, trying to eliminate OC through a massive misinformation campaign?

If you don't know then say so & find out.

Please don't add to the misinformation out here in these internets.

No, in both states I actually went and read their statutes and there is nothing stating nonresidents can carry OC. Michigan actually specifies "legal Michigan residents".
Rather than going by what others have done in the past I go by what is published for each specific state. Just because one has gotten away with OC'ing in another state does not mean it is legal for a nonresident to carry there and I will not inform someone it is legal to do so.
There is a huge difference between OC friendly to legal residents and OC friendly to nonresidents and until I either read the statute myself or someone shows me the exact statute that says its legal I will go with what is published.

You have said twice now it is acceptable and yet have not provided the statute in either case saying an Indiana LTCH can OC in either state.

Why would you think that there would be something in Kentucky statutes authorizing an action as legal?

You raised the issue and told a fellow INGO member that Kentucky was "CCW only"; please give the citation which forbids open carrying in Kentucky for residents or non-residents.

I will go with what is published.

Please give us this publication then.
