Which of the following situations disqualifies an individual from owning or possessing a firearm in Kentucky?

An individual in Kentucky is disqualified from owning or possessing a firearm if they have prior felony convictions. This disqualification stems from both federal and state laws that prohibit individuals with felony convictions from possessing firearms. The rationale behind this restriction is grounded in the belief that individuals who have committed serious crimes may pose a higher risk when it comes to responsible firearm ownership. Therefore, ensuring that individuals with such backgrounds are restricted from firearm possession aims to promote public safety and reduce the likelihood of future criminal activity involving firearms.

The other choices do not disqualify a person from owning a firearm. Good moral character does not have a direct bearing on firearm possession; age over 18 is generally the minimum legal age for ownership, and completing a firearms training course is often encouraged but is not a disqualifying factor.
