As in Montana, here in Kentucky, open carry is not unusual, and not alarming, but when some one does OC, a lot of times it sort of depends on what an individual looks or acts like. Most people here OP's before they start school but but with what people are doing nowdays it can be a little unnerving.. Carrying in a vehicle is legal , loaded or un loaded in a glove box with or with out a permit. But common sense should be used. when carrying.
