Granted, for those that have cared to look at those signs of college campus, most of you know that they are either out there or they're quoting laws that are not even related to the nature of the signs. Therefore, there are some folks that are actively carrying on campus. I say, "Carry On"!

Here's the exact text of the door stickers at U of L. These are, as best as I can tell, posted on every possible entrance to every building that is part of the University system. As you can see, the only law cited on their posted signs is the concealed carry law, and only to say that it does not apply.

Now, that is funny. KRS 237.115 doesn't mention licensing. Concealed carry licenses are authorized by KRS 237.110.

It is amazing how some places attempt to mislead with their signs. Kings Daughter's Medical Center here in Ashland has signs posted all-around that state firearms are prohibited under authority of KRS Chapter 237. I suppose they are refering to 237.110, however it is this very same statute that plainly states carry in medical facilities is not a crime. It is also this referenced statute that mentions only concealed firearms, and not openly carried firearms. They attempt to frigthen the ignorant, and I would venture to guess it often works. It is rather sad that they would rather strip someone of their right to self-defense by placing misleading signage than just telling the truth.

I don't know of anything prefiled, but I have what I consider good information that Constitutional Carry and the Firearms Freedom Act will be back again this year. Maybe, we will have better luck with them this time around. It will be tough to get much done, because there will be only 60 days in this year's session. I have a surprise or two, but can't say anything about it until Jan. Sorry for the tease.

Well it is Jan. Hit us with it!

Well, it is Jan. and my vacation is over. However, I won't be able to reveal the surprise until a little later. ss.

I hope your surprise is swift and pleasant. We can't handle much more at this point. We had a great session last year... let's hope it continues.
