Written inquiries regarding recognition of Kentucky carry concealed licenses have been made to all states and U.S. territories. The map and chart below detail those responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain other jurisdictions that recognize Kentucky carry concealed permits may limit the right to carry concealed to handguns only and not allow for the carrying concealed of other types of weapons. Also, the laws of other jurisdictions may differ from the laws of Kentucky regarding the circumstances under which you may legally carry a concealed weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are advised to contact all other jurisdictions in which you intend to carry concealed weapons with questions regarding these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a
