Concealed weapon permit requires test
BY TERRY FLYNN
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Joseph Megerle, the man police said thwarted an apparent armed robbery Thursday by shooting and wounding his alleged assailant, obtained a Kentucky permit to carry a concealed deadly weapon after eight hours of classroom instruction and proof that he had a certain level of proficiency with a handgun.
Kentucky's concealed-carry permit law, passed by the legislature three years ago, calls for a permit applicant to first contact a state-certified concealed-carry instructor.
The instructor conducts an eight-hour class that details the law concerning use of deadly force, the concealed-carry law, and aspects of handgun safety.
The permit applicant must pass a written test, and must also fire 20 rounds with 11 hits on a life-size silhouette target.
When the test results are approved by state concealed-carry officials, the applicant then files with the sheriff in the county of residence, pays $60 and, if the applicant clears a police background check, receives the concealed-carry permit that includes a picture similar to a driver's license.
