Strange occurance in Louisville!

[Goodcat]

So my wife and I take a trip to Louisville, staying at the Hilton. I go outside to smoke and end up running into a drunk girl who's husband came back from Afghanistan and was arrested that night for "no reason". She was screaming at hotel guests and the manager couldn't keep her quiet. Together we got her in the then closed bar and I preceded to keep her talking and inside until police arrived. Realized as I was relieved of my citizen duties, lol, my carry weapon had become exposed over my tshirt. Pretty sure the police saw it because they gave me weird looks as I left. Interesting night!!

They didn't ask you to "cover that thing" or if you were a cop or had a "permit"?

Kentucky is an open carry State without a permit. Or, it used to be. If it still is, then exposed may equal open with that Officer.

You did have a night to remember.

 

[Goodcat]

No questions, I think they were more concerned about the crazy girl! Good thing I had my "permit"

My bad, I didn't notice it was not in IN.

Glad to hear you had your sidearm with you, louisville is getting horrible these days I avoid the place whenever possible. It's a big plus that Ky honors the IN LTCH.

I love the city, but some of the areas are full of loitering hooligans. Fourth street live was extremely impressive, enjoyed the largest steak they had at Eddie MurLOWES

I travel to Louisville daily. It seems like it has cleaned up to me from what it used to be, but the trashy areas have just gotten trashier. I do love their gun laws. (if it is possible to love gun laws)

So why was her cousin arrested?

I see what you did there............(KY+husband=cousin)

Let me get this straight.

You spent the Night with a Screaming Drunk Girl at a Bar while Exposing your Rod.
All this while your wife was in the room upstairs?

Good for you!

Why oh why would any clean living, respectible, Hoosier ever bother to travel 150 miles to visit a crap hole town/state (KY) when he can stay and spend his hardearned money in his home state/town, thus supporting with tax paid on transactions his fellow Hoosiers, their businesses and still have an excellent adventure for himself and family? I stay on my side of the river and leave the DA's in KY to swim in their own mess! Just my opinion.

I believe I stayed in the Hyatt a year or two ago and it's not a place I would care to go back to. Fourth street was kind of neat but the rest of city was kinda dumpy. The Hyatt was worse than the holiday inn express hotels I've stayed in. Not to mention the bed bug billboards everywhere.

That it is but......'Louisville' city,as a whole (all of Jefferson County,now) has buttload of 'City Ordinances' to go along with they own rules......could'a gone either way. LEO involved prolly had other press'n issues with the chic.....and did'n sweat it,hahahaha......

Was she hot?

 

[CathyInBlue]

I'm sure she was 98.6°F, if that's what you're talking about. Otherwise, how hot can a drunk chick from Kentucky be?

I love central and southern Kentucky, but I can see the Louisville skyline from the back of my house, and I only go there maybe once every 2 or 3 months, and that's if I have a damn good reason to go.

Louisville is a "craphole" however the rest of kentucky is pretty awsome, of course i am going to say that considering thats my home state.

This may explain the weird looks but the understanding of the good deed and letting something slide...

Kentucky has a preemption law, so the city/county ordinances are actually not in compliance with state law. I'd rather not be the test case, but based on KRS 65.870, I think you'd likely have a law suit against any city that is enforcing non-state firearms laws.
