Why do you think anti-civil rights leftists always take the rare, but well publicized, (though usually poorly reported) tales of some poor deranged soul who goes crazy and kills family and/or friends, and immediately jump on the, "If we had more 'gun control' legislation, that wouldn't have happened." And then make with the ad hominum attacks and comparisons to all firearms owners.
What part of CRAZY don't they understand?
Oh, wait. This is the same bunch that thinks laws will keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.
Never mind.
The Four Laws of Gun Safety
1. All firearms are loaded. Always.
2. Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

We call this statute our "Preemption law". With very limited exceptions regarding CCDW, KY firearms laws are the same statewide. Note KRS 237.115 for one exception.
CHAPTER 237 - FIREARMS AND DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES

· 237.104 Rights to acquire, carry, and use deadly weapons not to be impaired during disaster or emergency

Here you will find the meanings of specific terms found throughout the other statues including "deadly weapon", "possession", "physical injury" and "serious physical injury".
CHAPTER 527 - FIREARMS AND WEAPONS OFFENSES
This chapter deals mostly with victimless crimes involving firearms. They have, for the most part, been enacted to prevent what one might do with a firearm in his possession rather than any actual perpetration of otherwise criminal activity. You should pay close attention to the wording in the chapter, some crimes described seem rather vague and open to very loose interpretation. The entire chapter is relevant but you should be especially wary of the crimes described in the following sections:
· 527.010 Definitions for the chapter
· 527.020 Carrying concealed a deadly weapon
· 527.030 Defacing a firearm (note use of "cover" in definition)
· 527.050 Possessing a defaced firearm
· 527.070 Possession on school property - FELONY!
· 527.110 Providing handgun to a juvenile - FELONY!

You made a case over on my blog that you are a really decent guy. I believe you. I take you at your word. But, I don't agree with you about guns.
One of the worst features of guns, it does seem to me (a mere child of God struggling to comprehend my world) is how in a moment of weakness or anger or despair, people are able to go from being wonderful people like you into criminals and murderers. There is no return from that moment of madness or anger. There is no return to the world, no apology, no redemption in this life, no correction of the mistake.
That is difficult to understand, Bud. I guess we have to remember that even if we are children of God, we are still children of man. And sadly, children of man are capable of anything. Most of us try, some of us don't. Some succeed, some fail. I figured out a long time ago that hardly anything about life is fair, and sometimes redemption only comes in the next life.
