When carrying your gun concealed or open carrying here in Kentucky. Does the gun have to unloaded or can you carry loaded? Can someone let me know? I have almost enough to purchase my first gun, but I want to be sure on the loaded or unloaded carrying before I start carrying.
Thanks
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter either way.
But like Thos.Jefferson said, it would not make any sense to carry an unloaded gun.
These are the only references to "unloaded" I can find quickly.
I feel it is implied, all other instances, the firearms could be loaded.
