Kentucky: Permitless Carry Legislation Introduced
Permitless Carry has been introduced in my state (Commonwealth) of Kentucky. It is known as House Bill 531 and introduced by Representatives Hubert Collins (D-97) and Jody Richards (D-20).
The current permit will still be offered (if this proposal goes through) so that Kentucky residents may carry in other states. As many know, Kentucky has been open carry since 1792 when it became a state.
Lets hope this gets passed and signed into law and Kentucky could join other states that allow permitless carry.

"Today, House Bill 531 was introduced by state Representatives Hubert Collins (D-97) and Jody Richards (D-20). HB 531 would allow a law-abiding individual, to lawfully carry a concealed handgun for self-defense without needing to first obtain a government-issued license. This legislation has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration, and your NRA-ILA expects a Senate version of HB 531 to be introduced later this week.
This bipartisan legislation recognizes the right of Kentuckians to legally carry a concealed firearm without the requirement of acquiring a Kentucky concealed carry deadly weapons license (CCDW). HB 531 is a much-needed update to concealed carry in Kentucky, allowing law-abiding gun owners the ability to better protect themselves and their loved ones. This legislation would give Kentuckians the freedom to choose the best method of carrying for them, based on their attire, gender and/or physical attributes. HB 531 would also keep in place the current permitting system so that people who obtain a permit could still enjoy the reciprocity agreements that Kentucky has with other states."
