We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

"No City, County, Urban-County Government may occupy any part of the field of regulations of the transfer, ownership, possession, carrying, or transportation of firearms, ammunition or components of firearms or combinations thereof.

Am I to understand that the local cities and counties cannot infringe on the right to open carry? Did I interprate that correctly?

You're almost right. What this means is that firearms laws are not in the domain of municipal governments. Only the state can make laws in the area of firearms. And since the ultimate state law, the constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky only allows restrictions on concealed carry, neither the state nor any local government unit has the authority to make laws that contradict it, short of amending the constitution.
