Concealed Carry while hunting

Frankfort, KY – The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is clarifying hunting equipment regulations for hunters who hold valid concealed carry deadly weapon permits. Under the Kentucky concealed carry deadly weapon law, KRS 237.110, holders of these permits are permitted to carry firearms during archery-only or archery/crossbow hunting seasons, and to carry firearms and ammunition that may be contrary to hunting equipment caliber or ammunition requirements. However, it is illegal for any person to take game with firearms during seasons when firearms are prohibited, or with any equipment listed as illegal for taking game.


Glad to see Frankfort make this move!

That is great news. Thanks for the post.

Good news and long overdue imho.

with the increased number of bears in ky everyone should be allowed to carry a sidearm. since seeing bear tracks and weird claw marks on the same tree i often hang my climber in i dont go to the woods without a gun now.
