Frankfort, KY – Gun advocates are asking Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear to stop requiring people who bring concealed weapons in the Capitol to wear red stickers. The Kentucky Concealed-Carry Coalition says the identifying stickers demonize people who are legally carrying guns. Kentucky has seen a surge in people carrying guns into the Capitol, a legal activity here and in at least 10 other states, but one that is worrisome to critics. State police documented 53 instances in which visitors carried guns into the Capitol between January 1st and March 31st, more than twice the number that had been brought inside in the previous year and a half.
