\nThe Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill that would create new licensure for concealed carrying firearms and deadly weapons.<\/p>\n
Under House Bill 312, those between 18 and 20-years-old could obtain a provisional license, as opposed to a standard license, which would allow them to conceal carry firearms, ammunition and other deadly weapons.<\/p>\n
Currently, people in Kentucky must be at least 21-years-old to receive a standard concealed carry license.<\/p>\n
According to the bill\u2019s language, those with provisional licenses may apply for a standard license once they are at least 21-years-old, by filling out a paper application with their county\u2019s sheriff\u2019s office, or an electronic application with Kentucky State Police.<\/p>\n
HB 312 passed the Senate 30-7 on Friday, March 20, having already passed the House 73-17.<\/p>\n
The bill is now set to head to Governor Andy Beshear\u2019s desk.
