Kentucky law, KRS 65.870, prohibits city, county, or urban-county governments from passing any ordinances pertaining to firearms. When local governments enact any gun laws, they are illegal and Kentucky law requires those illegal ordinances to be abolished. We've had great success removing these illegal ordinances, but a few years later, a new local government will enact a new illegal anti-gun law.
This database is a quick at-a-glance view of city and county gun laws so we can more quickly target our efforts to ensure that all of Kentucky is legally abiding by the provisions of our preemption law that prevents local anti-gun laws.
Links are provided to detailed discussions for each local area where we're working to remove illegal gun bans and restrictions.
Help us keep this list up to date. If your city or county is not verified as complying with state law prohibiting local firearms ordinances, or the verification is more than a year old, please verify the status and report back so we can keep an eye on the local governments and prevent them from illegally infringing on our right to keep and bear arms.

No local restrictions on open carry are permitted. State and federal laws can prohibit open carry in federal buildings such as the post office. Firearms can be prohibitted in courtrooms, schools, jails, prisons, bars serving alcohol, etc.
Concealed carry can be prohibitted in most local government buildings by local ordinances, but an ordinance must first be passed.
Let's turn these lists green!
Please send me a private message with updated info for each city or county, or post in this thread if you think it should be public info.
