Your correct, it's headed to the gov office.

I didn't find what amendments were kept in and which were removed....But, upon a closer look,
shows all that foolishness was defeated, filed or not germane to the bill.

But, it is in the Governor Matt Bevin's hands now.

Just hope it is something that will benefits us common folks.

Good to see that some sort of paperless CC is coming to my neighbor state. WV has had open carry for years, and CC w/o a permit since last year (two years? It is 2019...). I would still have to pay for a WV permit to conceal carry to KY - reciprocity both ways.

Oh, and crazy legislature bills? This WV term has a CC on college campuses bill with an amendment that doesn't allow the owner to keep their gun in their dorm room.

I really didn't think this bill would make it out of the House....
Glad I was wrong.

Gov. Matt Bevin (R) made clear Friday he will sign legislation to eliminate Kentucky’s requirement that residents get a permit from the state before carrying a gun concealed for self-defense.

WYMT/AP/WKYT quoted Bevin describing the bill as classic “constitutional carry” legislation. He stressed that the legislation is an affirmation of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The text of the legislation is straightforward: “Persons aged twenty-one (21) or older, and otherwise lawfully able to possess a firearm, may carry concealed firearms or other concealed deadly weapons without a license in the same locations as persons with valid licenses.”

Once Bevin signs the bill, Kentucky will be the sixteenth permitless carry state. The other 15 states are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Vermont.

EDIT: And, if interested forum members wish to read a thoroughly vicious, over-the-top-anti-gun-rant-disguised-as-a-news-story written by Joe Gerth of the Louisville Courier Journal, click here. I can't believe this writer ends his report by wishing gun owners become victims of an accidental discharge.

Governor Bevin Says He'll Sign Permit Less Carry Bill | WVXU

"Governor Matt Bevin says he is prepared to sign Senate Bill 150 into law. The legislation, easily adopted in each house of the legislature, allows Kentuckians 21 and older to carry concealed deadly weapons without a license in areas currently allowed for permit holders.
Bevin said Tuesday he’s supported permit less carry for some time.

“Heck I’ve been an advocate for this since long before it ever made its way through the legislature. It will be signed and I’m sure it will be signed here in the rotunda and I’m sure it will be done to great celebration of many in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This is very uniformly popular among Democrats and Republicans alike,” said Bevin.

Bevin says it’s not surprising some Kentuckians disagree with the legislation. He called that the, quote, “nature of politics”, adding “the vast majority of people want to see this and they will get it.” The bill was delivered to his desk Monday."

Watchdog,
Thanks for the link to ol' crazy Joseph Gerth, the newspaper hack....
I believe he's the one that said there would be blood in the streets when KY first passed Concealed Carry....
He's just one of those chicken lit'l nits.

The FOP opposed the new legislation on the grounds of officer safety...
KY statutes have been in last decade or so, are non announce and a firearm(s) can be carried in one's vehicle
(any compartment standard to the vehicle) without a permit or training, not to mention open carry.
The FOP's leadership is on the wrong side of this...Really the FOP should stay out of politics.

The KSP cut ties with the FOP years ago over some political meddling.

So, it's just a few nay-sayers that always oppose any and all gun friendly legislation.

This time it's mostly gun shops that have instructors that hold CCDW classes that is crying...

They are on the losing end, at fifty bucks a pop per applicant.

I sure glad for the folks of the Commonwealth that the Governor has promised to sign it into law.

We heard the same message before Virginia became a "shall issue" state. Allow citizens to carry concealed and the streets will be red with all the flowing blood. Of course, that did not happen. Crime actually dropped.
 
Unfortunately, this FedEx delivery driver would disagree. Say what you will, but most reasonable people can make a legitimate argument that but for Missouri's concealed carry law, Mr. Thomlison would not have been carrying a pistol, and Mr. Walker would not be facing life in a wheelchair. Whether or not this was a legitimate use of force I will leave to the courts to decide, but you cannot argue my premise . . .

A single instance proves nothing either way. Or, take the number of concealed carry permit holders who commit crimes and divide that by the total number of concealed permit holders. That will give you and idea of how much crime concealed carry permit holders commit.

The issue is that reasonable gun owners do what you describe. Everybody else doesn’t. I tell this to my 79 year old mother almost every day. “You can’t take your thoughts on this and extrapolate them to everybody else, even if you’re 100% correct. People don’t think like you do . . . “

Kentucky Governor Signs HB 150

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin signed the bill into law on Monday, March 11, 2019.

Kentuckians can now carry concealed without a permit. Some restrictions do apply, but all in all, it's a victory for Second Amendment supporters, gun owners, and sportsmen throughout the state.

The law becomes effective in July of this year.

Read about it here. And here.
 
I didn’t know whether to put this topic in this forum, or in the Concealed Carry – Self-Defense forum. So, I made a SWAG (right or wrong), and placed it the Concealed Carry – Self-Defense forum. If I placed this topic in the wrong forum, I trust those in charge will overlook my transgression, and move it to the appropriate forum on my behalf. Thx.
