Welcome to TFL, Adam51!

I'm going to do two things. First, suggest a visit to http://www.handgunlaw.us/. Gary Slider does an outstanding job of keeping that site current. Second, I'll move this to "Law & Civil Rights," where I think it really belongs.

That should be available from your Kentucky State Police website. In Louisiana, you car is an extension of you home, and can be loaded. Just be careful and do research if you travel out of state.

I live in KY and have a CCWP.

With permit you can certainly conceal loaded while riding. Same with a car.

That being said, I highly recommend you do not carry on your hip while riding. I had a wreck in 2013 and if my Kahr had been on my side, it would have broken my hip the way I landed. It was unchambered in my jacket pocket.

If I hadn't been wearing a full face helmet my jaw would have been ripped off too.

I might add that carry in a vehicle's glove box, center console, etc. does not require a concealed carry license in Kentucky. Not sure how that applies to motorcycles.
