Good News: Constitutional Carry Is Back on the Table in This State
By Erika Haas
State Representative Wesley Morgan is reopening the debate over Constitutional Carry in Kentucky.
Last month, the Republican pre-filed a bill, known as BR172, for the 2018 legislative session that would allow Kentucky residents 21 years of age and older to conceal carry a handgun in the state without a license.
“Basically what we’re saying is you don’t have to have a concealed carry license, but it never was a requirement in the Second Amendment,” Morgan tells WKMS. “The government does not have the right to tell you to get a license to carry something that the constitution gives you the right to do.”
It’s important to note that under Morgan’s bill, residents can still obtain a CCW permit if they so choose, since Kentucky has reciprocity agreements with 35 states across the country (That just might be worth the extra $60).
If Morgan’s bill is a success, Kentucky will become one of over a dozen states that have passed constitutional carry since Alaska first did so in 2003.
