Bill Protecting Concealed Carry Licenses for Military Personal Advancing in Kentucky
Friday, February 12, 2010
The Kentucky State House recently passed House Bill 19 by a unanimous vote of 95 to 0.
Sponsored by State Representative Fitz Steele (D-84) and State Representative Bob Damron (D-39), HB19 would allow military personnel who are on active duty to renew their concealed carry licenses early and via mail. It also allows for those military personnel whose licenses expire while on active duty to renew licenses within 90 days after the end of their deployment, with no late fees or other penalties.
HB 19 is in the Senate Veterans, Military Affairs, & Public Protection Committee. Please contact committee members and respectfully urge them to support HB19. Contact information can be found below.

With the New Year we have also received feedback from hunters in our state.

To that end I will be publishing information from members and others who post questions to us. In the future I hope to be able to provide a discussion forum for our members.

"It is axiomatic to say there will be no hunting and no fishing unless we, the people, demand
conservation. We are not aiming at the European idea of conservation, where there are great
preserves for the use of a few individuals. What we are striving for in this country is to preserve
our animals, birds, and fish so that the average American can get an opportunity for life in the
open."
--Theodore Roosevelt |

The League of Kentucky Sportsmen is Kentucky's oldest and largest statewide organization of sportsmen/conservationists.
Individuals who were concerned with the proper management of Kentucky's wildlife and natural resources, both game and non-game, formed the League in 1935. The League is a nonprofit, conservation/education organization comprised of individuals and state, local, and national affiliate groups working for the wise use and proper management of Kentucky's wildlife and of the state's renewable and non-renewable natural resources. The individual and group affiliates comprise the overwhelming strength of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, known as the "umbrella organization" for all whose enjoyment is in any legitimate way related to hunting, fishing, fur-taking, shooting, and the conservation of the Commonwealth's natural resources.
