How to Register a Gun

There is no ordinance within Kentucky law demanding that residents have to submit to firearm registration. Kentucky is known for having minimal restrictions when it comes to gun legislation, not requiring any type of licensing to own or purchase a pistol and/or long gun. A license is only obligatory if someone would like the liberty of carrying a concealed handgun within the public confines.

How to Obtain a Concealed Carry Permit

The KSP (Kentucky State Police) issues CCDW (Carry Concealed Deadly Weapons) licenses. Any individual interested in acquiring this license must be a minimum of 21 years old, a resident of Kentucky, and not forbidden by law (in compliance with KRS § 237.110). This license also allows holders to carry in various other states participating in reciprocity with Kentucky. To begin the application process, you must fulfill the following requirements:

  • An application form that has been completed at your county sheriff’s office or through the KSP’s CCDW Portal (the online method will expedite the process lowering the wait time by 20 days, a $10 fee may be incurred).
  • A firearms training certificate signed by a confirmed CCDW instructor (your trainer will handle the procurement of the required certificate after the successful completion of the course).
  • Allow law enforcement to initiate a background check to ensure no past criminal activity prohibits the applicant from attaining the license (this is performed within 90 days of the applicant’s submission).
  • If you lack citizenship status, you must complete a Citizenship Affidavit (Form KSP 131) to apply.
  • Submit a color photo of the applicant’s face (shoulders to the top of the head) that meets the following guidelines:
    • A minimum of 3½” x 4″ and no more than 4″ x 6″.
    • Taken by a digital camera that has at least 7-megapixels.
    • Printed on quality photo paper.
    • When in doubt, a photo that meets the standards necessary to acquire a passport will suffice. Many businesses offer this service for a small fee.
  • A form of payment that coincides with the KSP’s criteria (check or money order):
    • Application Fee – $60 made payable to the “Kentucky State Treasurer”.
    • County Sheriff’s Fee – $20 (inquire with your local department on the preferred method of payment)

After fulfilling the above requests, the processing department will have up to 90 days to deny or grant licensing. If approved, you will receive a “Flash Pak” email informing you that you may retrieve your CCDW license from your local sheriff’s office. The license remains operable for a period of 5 years, after which, you must apply for renewal (you will be notified by mail 12o days before expiration).
