Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rod Snell" data-source="post: 1467000" data-attributes="member: 796">We don't know exactly what will be the final version this year, but last year's was much like the TN law in that it required the license to carry a handgun either concealed or open. In TN, LEO simply ask to see your license if they need to verify legal carry and you're good to go.Some KY LEO wish KY had the same law as TN since it simplifies checking and in KY it helps a lot if you are licensed. If you are carryig open in questionalble circumstances (like in a posted location) not having a license might result in being detained while they check for warrants, etc. KY has constitutional unlicensed open carry, but good manners and common sense cause most people to conceal in stores and crowded areas. Open carry is not a theory with me, but a familiar practice, since I am originally from KY and still own property there. Although there may be a learning curve for some in OK to realize 2nd amendment rights should not be used to abuse 4th amendment private property rights, it will be to the good to get open carry decriminalized, and in the event there will be much less ado than the current anxious talk supposes.</blockquote>
