KRS 65.870 - LOCAL FIREARMS CONTROL PROHIBITED
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
This entire chapter is devoted to firearms and other destructive devices, you may want to pay special attention to the following sections:

· 237.070 Prohibition against sale or transfer of firearm to convicted felon.
· 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!
CHAPTER 503 - PRINCIPLES OF JUSTIFICATION
This chapter is devoted to the definitions of justifiable force and deadly force. Anyone who carries a weapon for self-defense would benefit from a detailed study of this chapter, paying close attention to the differences between the following sections:
· 503.010 Definitions for chapter
· 503.050 Using force to protect self
· 503.070 Using force to protect another
· 503.080 Using force to protect property
· 503.100 Using force to prevent suicide or crime
NEVER BEEN SHOOTING? Would you like to try it?
An offer for Louisville Metro area residents.
If you have never been shooting, are 21 years old or older and not otherwise barred by state or federal law from purchasing or possessing a firearm, I'd like to invite you to the range. I will provide firearms, ammunition, range fees, eye and hearing protection and basic instruction.
(Benefactor Member of the NRA, member of KC3, former NRA firearms instructor, former Ky CCDW instructor)
Email me if you are interested in taking me up on this offer. Five (5) people already have.
That's right. Don't be shy folks. Step right out and buy at least 100 rounds of ammunition. Better yet, buy 200 and send half downrange sometime today.
This is five years for NAD, and I wish us many more.
