The Fraternal Order of Police in the state also opposed the bill, which passed through the House overwhelmingly
A father whose daughter was killed in the Parkland, Florida, school shooting denounced Kentucky lawmakers on Friday for pushing through an open-carry bill that passed its first major hurdle on the anniversary of his daughter’s murder.
The bill, which first passed the Republican-controlled Senate on February 14, allows state residents over the age of 21 to carry concealed firearms and other concealed weapons without a license. The piece of legislation, which passed 60-37 in the House, now lands on the desk of Republican Governor Matt Bevin, who did not immediately return Newsweek’s request for comment on whether he would sign it into law. On Friday, he told Gray TV that he would sign the bill.
The bill, SB150, has the support from the National Rifle Association, which urged its followers to contact Kentucky lawmakers to push them to approve the legislation.
