While I understand this tongue-in-cheek response, a new poster deserves a little more patience than an old hand might be awarded. Might be better to invite him to a local meet n' greet - a lot more questions can be fielded in shorter order in such a setting. We were all new and green once.
Completely agreed!, the only way to get newcomers interested and wanting to hang around is by answering their questions and being courteous. If we attack newcomers with ill remarks, they would certainly think we are not the friendly bunch of gun owners MOST of us want to be portrayed as. I do recall a recent post where you slammed the search bar issac, because of what a mess it is. If you don't like it, should anyone else have to? Personally I never use it, and frankly, a newcomer would be hard pressed to even realize
what the little tiny white bar with a magnifying glass is. I never paid any attention to it until someone made a rude comment to me about it.
However, to answer your question new guy, you most assuredly can openly carry you revolver pretty much anywhere. I suggest you look up KRS chapters 237 and 527 on the state legislature webpage, these are firearm laws, and arrest laws for firearm violations. To sum up the basics, you can't carry within 1,000ft of a school zone, meaning any school district owned property, and k-12 schools. You can't carry in a bar, or any place that serves alcohol by the drink with a loaded firearm, unless that place makes over 50% if it's annual income from food sales, places like TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Texas Road House, Etc., you can carry loaded in those restaraunts, and others like them. If you are going
into a place with a no firearm sign on the door, you can ignore the sign and still enter the premises, however, if you are asked to leave, you must leave, or you can be arrested for criminal trespass. In krs 237.110, it states places off limits, however most of these places are only off limits with concealed firearms. The places you CAN carry openly, but NOT concealed are police/sheriff departments, any meeting of a governing body of a city or county, or any meeting of the general assembly. Colleges and universities can ban deadly weapons, however you can carry at these places and not be charged with a crime, but you would certainly experience some issues that you wouldn't want to experience, if you are a student at the college and carry, they can sanction you, or you could lose your right to attend the college altogether, so I would not risk carrying at a college openly, at least until this unconstitutional ban is fought in court. Please don't take my word as law, I
suggest you research everything I have told you, and print it out if possible. Also check into the supreme court case Holland Vs Commonwealth, and I suggest memorizing every law that applies to firearms, in case you need that information one day. The most important KRS you should study on first is 65.870, 237.104, 237.106, parts of 237.110, and 244.125. While your in your vehicle, you can place your revolver on the dash, or in any factory installed storage compartment, as long as it's enclosed, like glove compartment, consoles, etc.. You can find all the KRS at
http://lrc.ky.gov/krs/titles.htm, enjoy, learn, and carry on. You probably should check out krs chapter 503 as well, it has Ky's self defense laws, like our castle doctrine, and stand your ground laws. If I've missed anything, help me out folks..
