TYRONE MORRIS KENTUCKY
A bill allowing for permitless carry in Kentucky has passed the House floor. The bill passed the House 60-37. Senate Bill 150 allows anyone 21 and older to carry a firearm without a permit.
Supporters of the bill say the bill reinforces Kentuckians’ constitutional rights. However, the bill did not come without concerns or questions from opponents of the bill. Some opponents say it hurts what they believe is an epidemic of gun violence.
The Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police opposed the bill, saying it doesn’t address safety concerns for police. They say identifying who is carrying a gun is safer for police and citizens.
The Louisville Metro Police Department also said the bill had potential dangers for officers.
The bill now heads to Governor Matt Bevin’s desk.
I’m guessing Matt Bevin will sign this in a heartbeat. Now Kentuckians, regardless of their mental state, will be able to tote a gun around with them at will. I don’t think I’ll be spending much time there.
Don’t worry Sean O’Daniel, they won’t miss you, and it will mean one less mental case the police will need to worry about.
