At the Kentucky state house, you cannot enter with a stick or an umbrella, because they might be used to carry protest signs, bu you can carry guns in<\/a>. <\/div>\n

Armed gun owners rallied in Kentucky entering the state\u2019s capitol building in Frankfort on Friday. <\/p>\n

The gathering was organized by the group We Are KY Gun Owners. They were spurred into action when Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam pushed for new gun control measures<\/a> that led to threats of violence, culminating with Northam declaring a state of emergency earlier this month. <\/p>\n

Astonishingly, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal<\/a><\/i>, visitors to the capitol building are banned from entering with umbrellas or sticks that are used for protest signs because they can be \u201cused as weapons,\u201d but guns and rifles are permitted. <\/p>\n

Joe Gerth of the Courier-Journal<\/i> tweeted a video showing security officers instructing armed rally-goers to go around the metal detectors while entering the capitol building.<\/p>\n
