State Gun Laws

Leyes actualizadas al 6 de agosto de 2024

I have a temporary or final interpersonal protective order (TIPO or IPO) 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

Furthermore, the federal laws that restrict gun ownership while a protective order is in effect do not apply to the types of relationships covered by a TIPO or an IPO.2 Go to our Federal Gun Laws page for more information.
