Is it legal to openly carry a firearm in Kentucky?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. No, it is strictly prohibited

  3. Yes, but only with a CCDW license

  4. Yes, but only handguns

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Kentucky is an open carry state, meaning that it is legal to openly carry a loaded firearm without a permit. This is in contrast to a concealed carry state, where a person must have a permit to carry a concealed firearm. Option B is incorrect because while it may be prohibited in some states, it is not strictly prohibited in Kentucky. Option C is incorrect because a CCDW (Concealed Carry Deadly Weapons) license is only needed for concealed carry, not open carry. Option D is incorrect because it implies that only handguns are allowed to be carried openly, whereas any type of firearm is permitted.
