This bill would define what counts as a "red flag law" and prohibit Kentucky police departments and courts from enforcing such laws. Red flag laws generally allow authorities to temporarily remove firearms from individuals considered a danger to themselves or others, and this bill would bar state and local officials from carrying out those types of actions. Who it may affect: law enforcement agencies, judges and court officials, and Kentucky gun owners.
