Two weeks ago, a KC3 member sent in a picture of a sign on the Mercer County Senior Citizens Center located in Anderson-Dean Park in Harrodsburg. That sign says that "Handguns are Prohibited" in that public building. I started looking around a little more into Mercer County ordinances and policies. I soon came across Mercer County Ordinance #96-57. That ordinance prohibits the possession of concealed weapons in all buildings, grounds and property of Mercer County. I sent an email to Mercer Co. Judge/Exec. Dedman explaining the state gun laws. This morning, Judge Dedman called and said that the sign had been taken down and that the ordinance would be completely repealed on Tuesday, Sept. 29th, at that Fiscal Court meeting. He thanked me for bringing this issue to his attention. You can see a picture of the sign here:

If you are unsure whether or not they are legal, send them anyway. We'll figure it out.
We never mention people's names or how we got the information. We just tell them we want it fixed.[/b]
