planning trip to Kentucky

[drj357]

I am planning a trip to Kentucky and I have a Indiana permit. What are things I need to know about Kentucky concealed carry as it pertains to said permit. I plan on visiting the Bardstown area.

Can can carry concealed just about anywhere you please except schools, day cares, bars, houses of worship and federal facilities, to name some. Any business can post a no concealed weapons sign, but the sign does not have the force of law. That means so long as you leave the premises if asked, you can't be charged with anything.

Reference KRS 237.110 for a full list of prohibited places.

Actually, according to law you can also carry in church. The pamplet that the Jefferson Co. Sheriff's Dept. puts out says that you can't, but it does not say that anywhere in the statute. I also checked with the instructor that gives the class for CC (a former police chief) and he stated that it is perfectly legal to carry in church.

You're right about churches. I could have sworn I read it in the statute a couple of months ago.
