Kentucky Expands Concealed Carry to 18-Year-Olds

Kentucky's House Bill 312 opens a provisional concealed carry pathway for 18–20-year-olds, with mandatory training and background checks. Instructors are welcoming the change while flagging a critical catch: neighboring states like Ohio don't honor the permit for anyone under 21. The training requirement, they say, is the whole point.
