Question about concealment license:

I have a concealment license. Can I still open carry in Kentucky?

Your CCDW allows you to carry concealed - it does not mandate that you do so. Your choice.

The perfect place to put this question, which has already been capably answered (except you, Mr. Slack, ought to know it's called a CDWL, but I digress), is in the KY forum here at OCDO (Open Carry Dot Org).

That's interesting because even the Kentucky State Police call it a CCDW.

Did move the thread to the KY forum - missed that earlier.

Yeah, various Ohio agencies do the same sort of thing with our license.

Here's a sample KY CDWL: http://www.usacarry.com/kentucky_concealed_carry_permit_information.html


Here's what I believe is an accurate list of the DW covered:

Any weapon from which a shot, readily capable of producing death or serious physical injury, may be discharged.

· Any knife other than an ordinary pocket knife or hunting knife.
· Billy, nightstick, or club.
· Blackjack or slapjack.
· Nunchaku karate sticks.
· Shiriken or death star.
· Artificial knuckles made from plastic, or other similar hard material.

I'm a death star man myself! ;-)

...If you were carrying concealed and encountered a legitimate "No Concealed Weapons Allowed" sign. You could just remove your jacket or otherwise uncover you weapons and continue on past the sign.

To the OP:

Being mindful of the fact that you may be asked to leave private premises for doing so, and if you refuse, cited. (I don't know the particulars beyond that, however)

Then of course there are the statutory off-limits places, which I'm still working on retaining.

If you have a driver's license, are you still allowed to be a passenger?

This is close to my go-to response to the OP's question. I usually say "are you suddenly no longer allowed to walk to where you're going?", but I think Mac's version is a closer analogy.

I got my CCDW a short time back and when picking up my license I just happened to grab a pamphlet from the Jefferson county sheriff's office about Conceal Carry. In it it states where you are not allowed to conceal carry and one of those places listed is churches. It appears to be almost a cut and paste from the KSP website except for the on one paragraph.

I've looked and I can't find anything about churches in the KRS. I thought churches are just like any other business. Am I missing something or is the pamphlet incorrect?

No such restriction - even the antis agree on that.

Kentucky has no statutes prohibiting firearms in:
• Hospitals;
• Places of worship;
• Sports arenas;
• Gambling facilities; or
• Polling places.
