IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to an improperly issued reciprocity letter from New Hampshire, reciprocity between New Hampshire and Kentucky is temporarily suspended. We expect that this situation will be corrected within the next few weeks and CCW reciprocity will be restored between New Hampshire and Kentucky but until this is resolved, your Kentucky CCW permit is not valid in New Hampshire.

Senate passes firearms bill HB 97
35-0; House OKs it 86-9
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Lawmakers yesterday approved a final version of a bill that critics said would loosen the state's concealed-weapons law and hamper a state crackdown on rogue firearms instructors. But the sponsor of House Bill 97, Rep. Bob Damron, D-Nicholasville, brushed off such concerns yesterday. He said his bill actually will make the law tougher by making it illegal to falsify firearms-safety-training records for those seeking permits to carry concealed weapons.

Ban on concealed guns stands Judge's order halted on appeal
Within hours of a Hamilton County judge's decision Thursday that Ohio's ban on concealed weapons is unconstitutional, an appeals court temporarily halted his order for police to stop arresting law-abiding citizens with hidden firearms.
Judge: Ohio Ban On Concealed Weapons Unconstitutional
CINCINNATI - A common pleas judge ruled Thursday that Ohio's law against carrying concealed weapons violates the state constitution by barring people from carrying firearms to protect themselves. "There is no doubt that the very thought a potential victim might possess a firearm deters that element of our society that cares nothing about laws or human life but rather understands only one thing -- brute force," Hamilton County Judge Robert Ruehlman wrote.
Tighter security means big changes for state Capitol visitors
People heading to Frankfort over the next three months to watch Kentucky legislators hash out laws and debate policy had better get there early. Security measures instituted since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will change what formerly was easy access. ''A lot of us think it is overkill. I don't think there are really any terrorists who are looking at causing havoc in the state of Kentucky,'' said Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville. ''And any terrorist who knows anything about Kentucky would know that we (lawmakers) can cause more than enough terror on our own.
Gun Law Creating Capitol Quandary
Kentucky's traditional legislative disdain for anything that smacks of gun control is complicating efforts to increase security at the state Capitol. Included in the wave of new security measures since the Sept. 11 attacks are metal detectors, costing about $100,000, which are expected to be installed by the time the 2002 General Assembly begins Jan. 8. But while the detectors may ferret out firearms, security personnel may not be allowed to confiscate them.

Michigan Supreme Court Upholds Concealed Weapons Law
In a 4-3 decision, the state's highest court ruled that the $1 million appropriation that the Legislature added to the law prevents it from being subject to a statewide vote in the 2002 election. A group opposed to the new law, People Who Care About Kids, collected 230,000 signatures to prevent the law from taking effect until it's approved by voters in a referendum. But gun rights advocates argued that the Michigan Constitution prevents budget bills from being the subject of a referendum. more...
