    Weirdest thing about guns in the Kentucky Capitol: if you have one, you’re told to walk around the metal detector. Others must pass through and get wanded.pic.twitter.com/Oqxl9hvl0I

        What's the point of the metal detectors?

        Maybe they are trying to catch people who do not have a concealed carry permit (and have not passed any background checks), but still try to enter the building with a concealed weapon?

        You don’t need a permit to carry concealed in Kentucky.

        I was there the other day. There's still a sign says you can't have posters on a stick, but the state police told me if I taped a poster to a rifle barrel, that'd be fine. Totally serious.

        This was in January, long before there was any social distancing in the US.
