Hello all, I am going to be PCSing to Fort Campbell in a month and so have been checking up on Kentucky's firearm laws. I have been able to get some pretty good answers from this forum and some other sites, but I still have one question.
I have not been able to find if it is illegal to carry in Kentucky if you have consumed alcohol. I would like to clarify that I in no way mean to get drunk and then carry, but there have been many times that I have had occasion to leave the house after having a single beer.
In my home state of Missouri, you do not lose the right to carry/self defense with the consumption of alcohol, but that is a very new law there. It used to be at the discretion of the LEO, so if you get breathalized and blow a 0.005 they could arrest you for possesing a firearm while under the influence.
So to put my question clearly, is it illegal in Kentucky to carry while under the influence of alcohol, and if so, is there a legal limit as there is with driving?
Thanks in advance.
