Short story of interest in KY:

Here's my rough summary:
The above was because in Kentucky's case, the statute (KRS 237.106(4)) very specifically states that no person or organization can prohibit possession of a firearm in someone's vehicle. But it is interesting that the court also says something to the effect that "there is a fundamental and well-defined public policy around the right to bear arms".
Wonder if this will set any other precedents (even if only in-state).

Here's my rough summary:
- University of Kentucky has a no guns policy.
- Guy has gun in car.
- His colleagues think he has gun in locker and somehow they prompt a search of his locker and car by UK campus police.
- They find the gun in his car.
- Police confiscate his gun and UK fires him for violating policy.
- The guy sues. Circuit Court rules against him. It goes to the KY Supreme Court.
- Supreme Court reverses Circuit Court and rules pro-2A in support of the guy.
