For concealed carry, yes. Most states with concealed carry laws either prohibit open carry, or else have "menace to the public" laws which may permit open carry, so long as nobody feels threatened or intimidated, at which point, they could call the police, who, in turn would, at the very minimum, tell you to remove and secure your weapon. For more detailed information, see the 'related links' section of this answer. If you wish to carry openly, you need to affirm the legality of it not only with the state police, but also with the police of any towns/cities/etc. you plan on carrying in, and this should be done by email, so that you can have documentation of their response.

Is it legal to walk around with a gun in the open in Colorado?

Yes, Colorado is an open carry state. As long as you are legal to own a gun, you can open carry. Additionally, though the law states that you have to be 21 to buy a handgun, this is not technically true. You have to be 21 to buy a handgun, ONLY if you are buying from a FFL dealer, that is to say, a gun store, pawn shop, or sporting store. You can be 18 and buy a handgun from a Private Seller. Meaning another citizen. That being said, you should be careful about buying weapons from random people, whether they are advertising online, or in the paper. It is also not necessary to register a firearm in Colorado.

Can you carry a open handgun in Kentucky without a premit?

Open carry in the Commonwealth has been our heritage since the Constitution was written and adapted in Danville in the early 1800's. Not many people open carry because we have a CCDW law that outshines any states concealed carry law. The Commonwealth of Kentucky recognizes any and all state's CCW licenses/permits. It has been discussed many times about open carry. One of the main reasons for not doing so is that the BG can spot their prey right off and eliminate that threat immediately then move on to smaller prey. Some people look at someone carrying a firearm/ weapon openly as a 'kind of show off'. Only place that I know where you would be hasseled if you open carry is Louisville. LEO in that area just get stiff when they see someone who packs openly. Of course there are areas that are prohibited from carrying any type of firearm/weapon such as the schools, certain colleges, court rooms, federal buildings. A lot of buildings are posted that no concealed firearms are allowed - big deal, just take your coat or cover off and carry openly, but not in the places which I mention above. One thing, and please do not forget it! In 1956, a court case was won by an individual who was challenged by someone for his carrying a sidearm in open. Moral: if you do carry openly and someone does ask or challange you about your carrying, that individual/group is very subject to a lawsuit brought about for violating your constitutional right to carry openly. That right is covered in the first section of the Kentucky Constitution, para 1 - 7. With today's climate after 9/11, go ahead and get your CCDW license and don't worry about the open carry thing. That way, only you know. Ed
