We have more than 300,000 CCW permits in affect in Kentucky. That is almost 10% of our population.

All requiring a safety and legal aspects course as well as proof of capability live fire exam.

I am sure there would be more if we were not an "open carry state", so a permit is not needed for keeping a firearm in the vehicle or if one is wearing the weapon exposed.

As in WVA, our violent crime rate is very low. Most crime here is drug related and junkies sell any firearms they can acquire to buy drugs.

My county had 2 assaults last year and both of those were domestic batteries. No murders and surprisingly few home break ins. I saw the local police driving down my lane a few days back for the third time in six years. He was probably serving a lawsuit or divorce warrant.

Move right along folks, no excitement here!

Seems that every time I walk out the door without the gun I need it. I had to return to the house and grab the shotgun to pepper a big mongrel's butt the other day because I had walked out to cut some okra and did not have my pistol in my pocket. He was after the chickens and needed killing but I decided to just motivate him on his way. Some #8 shot at 50 yards did the job and I have not seen him since.
