What type of ammunition is prohibited for use in a concealed weapon under Kentucky law?

  1. Hollow-point bullets

  2. Armor-piercing bullets

  3. Hand-loaded bullets

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Armor-piercing bullets

It is important to note that while A and C may seem like viable options, they are not the only types of ammunition prohibited in Kentucky for use in a concealed weapon. Hand-loaded bullets, though potentially more powerful than standard factory-loaded ammunition, are not illegal in most cases. Additionally, while B may seem like the obvious answer, D could also be seen as a possible answer, as it encompasses all of the other options. However, the wording of the question specifies "prohibited for use in a concealed weapon," meaning that these types of ammunition may still be allowed for use in other types of firearms, just not in a concealed one. So while D may seem like a catch-all answer, it is not the most precise and specific response in this scenario.
