State Gun Laws

Leyes actualizadas al 6 de agosto de 2024

I have a temporary or final domestic violence order (EPO or DVO) against the abuser. Can s/he keep a gun or buy a new gun?

Kentucky does not have a law that prevents someone who has any kind of protective order against him/her from owning or buying any kind of gun.1

However, federal laws restrict an abuser’s right to have a gun if you have a final domestic violence order against him/her that meets certain requirements. Federal laws apply to all states and territories. Go to our Federal Gun Laws page for more information.
