Summary
The bill lets anyone not barred by law carry a firearm for self‑defense, hunting, fishing, trapping or other lawful activities on public lands and private lands unless the owner posts a notice prohibiting concealed weapons. It also allows the use of a firearm or other deadly weapon to kill or attempt to kill an animal in self‑defense or to humanely kill an injured animal, with a same‑day report to a game warden. Additionally, it creates statewide concealed‑weapon licenses issued by the Kentucky State Police with strict background‑check requirements.
