Carry & Conceal Deadly Weapons
Effective July 1, 2019… Concealed Carry without License:
The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill that allows people to carry concealed firearms without a permit or training.
Kentucky law previously required people to get a permit before carrying a concealed firearm. That process includes a background check, gun safety training and $60 fee.
With the passing of Senate Bill 150, it removes the permit requirement for anyone who’s at least 21 years old and meets other legal rules for owning a gun.
Getting a concealed carry permit is still available under the new law but will no longer be mandatory after July 1, 2019.
NOTICE:
As of July 12, 2006 , in accordance with House Bill 290 and the changes it made to KRS 237.110, anyone applying for a CCDW license or renewal must be a citizen of the United States. Therefore, applicants will need to fill out and sign a Citizenship Affidavit declaring citizenship to the United States , which will be attached to the application.
Another change that was made to KRS 237.110 states that of the $60 application fee, $40 of it must be a check or money order made payable to the Kentucky State Treasurer, and any application submitted to the KSP that does not have the $40 fee with it will be returned unprocessed.

The Sheriff’s Office will serve the Warrant of Possession. The renter will be given no more than five (5) days to vacate, unless a judge orders otherwise. Within five (5) days, the Sheriff’s Office will arrive at the property to ensure the safety of both the tenant and those responsible for removing the tenant’s possessions on behalf of the landlord.
