Federal Judge finds that Kentucky's "concealed carry" gun law misfires with non citizens.

Read the story, on Kentucky's gun law which provides that non citizens not be allowed to carry guns concealed.

The court found that the law discriminates against non citizens.

According to Judge Thomas Russell, "A blanket prohibition discriminating against aliens is not precisely drawn to achieve the goal of facilitating firearms purchases when there exists a nondiscriminatory way to achieve the same goals," while concluding that "Finally, it is in the public interest [for the court] to prevent the violation of an individual's constitutional rights [such as happened with the gun law]".
