Kentucky allows permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and older legally able to possess firearms, while continuing to issue concealed deadly weapon licenses. Local governments cannot impose stricter rules than state law.
KRS 237.110 establishes Kentucky's concealed deadly weapon licensing system administered by the Department of Kentucky State Police. KRS 237.109 (effective 2019) authorizes permitless concealed carry for persons 21 or older who are not prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. Licenses remain available and are useful for reciprocity with other states. Local governments may not regulate concealed carry beyond state law due to KRS 65.870 preemption. Carrying remains restricted in certain locations defined by KRS 237.110(17).
Carrying concealed in a prohibited place or by a prohibited person is generally a Class A misdemeanor; subsequent or aggravated offenses can be charged as felonies under KRS 527.020.
