*LEGAL UPDATE* –“CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY ” SENATE BILL 150 PASSES: Beginning June 27th, 2019, anyone who LEGALLY owns a gun in Kentucky can now carry it concealed, without a permit. The new law eliminates a six-hour gun-safety training course, background check, and $60 application fee that the state previously required.
PLEASE NOTE: Kentucky’s permit-less carry law DOES NOT over rule other state’s laws. If you choose not to get a CCDW permit, check with the laws in other states to see if they differ in any way, as this Bill only applies to concealed carry in Kentucky. This also does not apply to convicted felons or anyone that has their gun rights taken away by the proper authorities. Those individuals still have to abide by those orders.
If you will be traveling to to other states, or still want to apply for a permit, the Christian County Sheriff’s Office can provide assistance in getting your CCDW License. There are currently two ways you can apply for your license:
- You may apply online, directly with the Kentucky State Police. The cost for completing the online application is $50.00 to the Kentucky State Treasurer, and $20.00 to the Christian County Sheriff’s Office when the license is picked up. This process usually takes less time to complete. Click here to apply online.
- You may choose to complete the process through our office. If so you will need to bring proof that you have completed the CCDW class (see below for a list of instructors in Christian County). You will also need a check or money order for $40.00 made payable to the “Kentucky State Treasurer” and $20.00 to be payed to the Christian County Sheriff’s Office for our processing fee (plus $5.00 if you need your picture taken).
The application process can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks, depending on which application method you choose and you will receive verification in the mail that your license is ready to be picked up. To check and see if your license is ready, feel free to call our office, 270-887-4143 to see if your license is ready for pick up.
