Paducah open-carry ordinance revised

By Seth Helton

Murray, KY – Paducah Mayor Bill Paxton and City Commissioners approved a new ordinance Tuesday bringing the city's open carry guidelines into compliance with state law. The previous ordinance contained language prohibiting firearms in city parks. City Manager Jeff Pederson says the language prohibiting open carry was removed to match the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
