I think I understand what you are trying to do, but I'm not certain that it falls within the scope of Kentucky state law. This is the Kentucky State Police website Link Removed It states the following regarding military personnel posted in Kentucky; "The applicant for a carry concealed deadly weapon (CCDW) license must:
Be a resident of Kentucky for at least six months prior to filing the application or a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is on active duty, who is at the time of application assigned to a military posting in Kentucky, and who has been assigned to a posting in Kentucky for six months or longer immediately preceding the filing of the application;
It sounds like Kentucky wants military personnel to apply for their CCW regardless of the state of legal residency. Some states do this with motor vehicle operators licenses. I was on active duty for 21 years and ended up getting licenses in four states just to avoid the hassle of an out of state renewals. North Carolina has reciprocity with Kentucky for the purpose of CCW. Because you are active duty member of the Army you may be able to legally carry with your North Carolina CCW initially but will ultimately have to obtain a Kentucky CCW. I suspect that you aren't the first solider that has encountered this problem transferring to Fort Campbell or where ever you are headed. Did you new unit assign you a sponsor to assist you with getting settled in? I would ask him or someone in your chain of command when you report in. This is another link that provides some insight on this topic Link Removed Let us know what they tell you. It's good gouge for other military personnel transferring across state lines.
