Effective July 1, 2019... Concealed Carry without License:

The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill that allows people to carry concealed firearms without a permit or training.

Kentucky law previously required people to get a permit before carrying a concealed firearm. That process includes a background check, gun safety training and $60 fee.

With the passing of Senate Bill 150, it removes the permit requirement for anyone who's at least 21 years old and meets other legal rules for owning a gun.

Getting a concealed carry permit is still available under the new law but will no longer be mandatory after July 1, 2019.

Notice:
As of July 12, 2006 , in accordance with House Bill 290 and the changes it made to KRS 237.110, anyone applying for a CCDW license or renewal must be a citizen of the United States. Therefore, applicants will need to fill out and sign a Citizenship Affidavit declaring citizenship to the United States , which will be attached to the application.
Another change that was made to KRS 237.110 states that of the $60 application fee, $40 of it must be a check or money order made payable to the Kentucky State Treasurer, and any application submitted to the KSP that does not have the $40 fee with it will be returned unprocessed. The remaining $20, (of the $60 application fee), can be cash, check or money order made out to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office.
