KY has a conceal/carry law. Have to take a class, and pass an accuracy shooting test. Not a big deal at all. Our law is written in a way that says you have to hit x out of 10 targets (can't remember how many). However, it says nothing about you having to aim it yourself, personally. This has led to quite a few legally blind people passing; the instructor sights the gun for them, and they pull the trigger. Nice little loophole, there...

At any rate, I don't carry. I've considered it, but I'm just too cheap to buy a real gun. I'd definately like to have a .38, at some point in time, to carry when I'm on the motorcycle (I commute on a motorcycle), 'cause there are quite a few arseholes on the streets nowadays, and it'd be nice to have a little show of force if necessary, so they'll leave me alone. That's not enough of a concern to make me go out and spend $$, though. Maybe someday, just not right yet.
