Notify KY LEO?

[marv]

I live in Indiana, barely and I carry and I go to Kentucky a lot. Got to wondering, does Kentucky require that LEO be notified of the presence of a firearm during a traffic stop? Never been stopped yet but it can happen.

I would either call KY State Police and ask or try to look up their criminal code online.

Nope good all the way to FL, going up to MI you have to though.

It's seems to me, when doing inquiries about carying in another state, I could never get a consistent answer, between different agencies. I would get conflicting answers. No matter the law, a officer can make it a major issue and a time consuming ordeal if he/she is no clear on the law. Best to have a copy of the law with you.

What SMiller said. You're not required to inform in KY. Best if you don't inform, unless asked. Not everyone's as forgiving or as informative as Frank.

Edit: Here's a link that mentions it.

Problem is, most laws are for what's not legal, not what is legal. KY is silent on 'must inform', just as Indiana is. This makes it hard to show which law makes it 'legal' to not inform. Just as Indiana is silent on conceal or open carry, just that you must have the LTCH to transport, unless going to or from purchase or repair. (hopefully soon to be changed)

I'm going to be in Florida in April - do you have to notify their LEO's?

Thanks.

KY, not required to inform.http://handgunlaw.us/states/kentucky.pdf
FL, Not required to inform.http://handgunlaw.us/states/florida.pdf
However in FL you must be a resident of the state that issues your permit, meaning that if you are an IN resident your Utah nonres permit is no good there.

You dont even need a license to carry in your vehicle in FL. *WHILE CARRYING IN YOUR VEHICLE ONLY* and no you do not have to inform there either. Very 2A state.

But in FL, you must conceal, unless you're fishing.

I'd want to be carrying if I hooked something like this.

This is all good stuff to know. I am currently looking into a CC permit, and was wondering the same kind of thing as far as traveling between the midwest and say, FL.

 

[SMiller]

No such thing as a CC permit, here in IN we have a license to carry, meaning you can carry any which way you like.

Lots of knowledge to be gained on here.
