Hi,
I am a new gun enthusiast trying to learn more about the laws governing open carry. I am a college student in Lexington, and I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a law preventing open carry in Lexington. I know not to carry on campus or in banks, but what about when going for a walk with my wife and kid, or going to a park, store, etc. Any info on the laws would be helpful. Also, what does KY consider "concealed" as far as on the person. I just wouldn't want to get confronted because my shirt tail was too close or some other technicality. The cops here aren't too friendly.
Thanks.

Welcome to OCDO

first of all welcome to OCDO, as for open carry in KY it is perfectly legal, even in a bank. as with any carry state there are some place that open and or concealed are not permitted, off hand schools k-12,post offices.
as for being sure about open carry just be sure no part of your clothing covers your weapon unless you have a CCDW. you should visit the KY section, theres a lot of great info there.
