Measure Allows Concealed Weapons

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...House Representatives voted 90-4 Monday for a measure that would allow retired prosecutors special privileges to carry concealed weapons anywhere in the state. The bill that extends to commonwealth's attorneys and county attorneys the same right that already has been given to retired judges is intended to allow retired prosecutors to defend themselves if attacked. Kentucky already allows people to carry concealed weapons if they have permits to do so. Democratic state Representative Bob Damron's measure would allow retired prosecutors to carry them into restricted areas, like courthouses, where the general population wouldn't be permitted to carry guns.
