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.

Open carry in the Commonwealth has been our heritage since the Constitution was written and adapted in Danville in the early 1800's.

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.

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
