KY: Conceal Carry On Property and Business without permit July 12 2012

[Midwest]

Conceal Carry On Property and Business without permit July 12 2012


July 12 2012 It will finally become legal to conceal carry on your own property and your own business (without a permit). It was actually illegal to conceal on your own property for a long time (without a permit).

I am not sure if anyone got arrested for concealing on ones own property, but I think it was one of those things that needed to be changed over the years...but never was until now.

But anyway, a bit of happy news from the Bluegrass State.

It was legal to open carry within the state anyway. I know many out in the country (not the city) that carried open if they felt they needed to. I always thought it was stupid to be illegal to CC in your business or property w/o a permit.

By the way, I was helped by a good ole boy open carrying one night when I was a LEO. I absolutely have no problem with a citizen of this country carrying their piece. I still carry CCW now that I'm retired, but I also open carry on the farm.

Common sense.............................who knew it was an oxymoron?

Congratulations Midwest. It's about time.

That is the ONLY thing about Illinois' gun laws that have been good. As long as you had a vailid FOID card, you have been able to carry in your "fixed" place of business or on your property for years.
Of course, if you OC outside your home, even if still on your property, you are VERY likely to get a "visit" because of some know-nothing numbnut making an MWAG call.
You can even be sitting in your open carport or garage cleaning a broken down firearm and get a visit. :banghead:
