There is no law in Kentucky that prevents you from carrying a concealed deadly weapon while wearing a protective mask that many people are wearing to protect themselves in this time of COVID-19.

I have included Kentucky Revised Statute - Chapter 237 that is the law governing Carrying Concealed in Kentucky.

You can follow this link Kentucky Revised Statutes KRS Chapter 237 to learn more about the Carrying Concealed Law.
