The Kentucky General Assembly headed back to Frankfort this week with a specific mission: overturning Governor Andy Beshear’s rejection of two major firearm bills. In a decisive move, legislators successfully overrode the Democratic governor’s vetoes of House Bill 78 and House Bill 312, officially enshrining both into state law despite executive opposition.
The first measure, House Bill 78, creates a legal shield for the firearms industry. It effectively bars “frivolous” lawsuits against gun manufacturers, distributors, and retailers when their products are used in criminal or unlawful acts.
Supporters argue the law prevents the industry from being held financially responsible for the independent actions of criminals.
The second piece of legislation, House Bill 312, shifts the age requirements for concealed carry. It mandates that the Kentucky State Police issue provisional concealed carry licenses to adults aged 18 to 20, a group previously restricted from obtaining such permits for personal protection.
I'm glad the KY legislature supported the will of the people.
Dems like Beshear are always looking to blame someone else instead of holding the perps responsible.
