kwikrnu: Because Kentucky has a few enclaves of excitable, urban yuppies and I’d prefer not to have to worry about being reported to the po-po because I was browsing the produce at Whole Foods. For starters.
Ask you anything? OK, the question I used to give to junior airman when I checked them out in the heavy iron and they were acing all the systems questions. Name all Seven Dwarfs. No, Horney is NOT one of the seven, neither is sleazy.
Some retard from a blue state. And that retard will not be punished for the fact that you were proned out by some overzealous cop.
If you want to actually learn the effective way to advocate and forward open carry, I would suggest you hang out at calguns.net. They are operating in a completely hostile legal environment, and are making legal progress daily.
Everything they do is planned carefully to advance the second amendment in that state.
Even aside from getting knocked ass-over-teakettle by an officer with a poor understanding of the law and/or situation, who wants to be the center of somebody else’s histrionic scene?
Having a CWDL in the state of Kentucky also shortcuts a number of weird catches and gotchas surrounding the definition of concealed weapon. At least, when I took the class a couple years ago, we were specifically warned that a gun in a locked case could be considered a concealed weapon if the locked case were inside, say, a duffle bag. Which one might do just to simplify transportation without ever thinking about it.
Also, also: there is yet another reason to get a permit, even though Kentucky allows open carry without a permit. And that reason is because there are people who don’t want you to have one.
Concealed Carry DEADLY Weapon? How many states refer to concealed carry with such pointless redundancy? Everyone here knows ANY item can be a deadly weapon. Loses lots of points for that label.
Mr.Instructor: If I do something stupid with my gun and inadvertently make a hole in my soft body, which is better to say to the person answering the 911 phone?
A. I have had a negligent discharge.
Or
B. I have had an un-intentional discharge.
I think option B would put me in a better moral and legal position with other folks, regardless of what I might think of myself for doing such a thing.
Kentucky’s CCDW permit includes such things as blackjacks, ninja stars, billy-clubs, brass-knuckles, switchblades… not just firearms.
Granted, any “weapon” by definition is deadly, Ky’s permit covers pretty much any of them–unlike every other state (as far as I’m aware anyway)–thus the particular nomenclature of the label.

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

And conga rats!

Why would anyone carry concealed. Open carry is honorable and KY allows the open carry of firearms.

Calguns is a joke, they are anti-gun.

First congratulations. Second, what is the airspeed of an unladen sparrow?
February 4th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Guys, the link is to a reddit thread where a CCDW instructor opened the floor to questions. Uncle, so far as I know, is not that guy.
February 4th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Snackeater, I will add.
Sparrow suddenly transforms into a sparrow-sized veloci-raptor, and is carrying it’s prey, a 0.5 oz field mouse. What does Uncle season them with ?

Snackeater: Is that a European Sparrow or an African Sparrow?
