AN ACT relating to concealed deadly weapons.
SB 75 lowers Kentucky's age requirement for carrying concealed deadly weapons without a license from 21 to 18 years old. This change directly affects 18- to 20-year-olds who previously could not carry concealed weapons without a permit. The bill amends existing law to allow these individuals to carry concealed weapons in locations where licensed holders are permitted, while maintaining all other requirements like background checks, firearm training courses, and prohibitions under federal law. It does not eliminate the license system, as permits remain available for those who prefer them or need to carry in locations where concealed carry without a license is restricted.
