Kentucky: Governor Beshear Vetoes Pro-Gun Bills - Urge Your Legislators to Override!

Friday, April 3, 2026

On Thursday, April 2nd, Governor Andy Beshear vetoed two pro-gun bills, House Bill 78 and House Bill 312, despite overwhelming support in the legislature. It would seem that Governor Beshear would rather recycle boilerplate gun control talking points than listen to the will of the people of Kentucky.

The legislature will have veto override sessions on April 14-15th. Please contact your legislators and encourage them to OVERRIDE Governor Beshear's vetoes by using the TAKE ACTION button below.

House Bill 78 provides critical liability protections for firearm industry members from third-party misuse of products they manufacture or sell, preventing anti-gun groups from filing frivolous lawsuits in an effort to bankrupt the firearms industry.

House Bill 312 creates provisional concealed carry permits for 18-20 year olds.

Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates.
