In order to have a successful first transaction you will need more than just a license. I would offer that you need to utilize this opportunity to understand everything that is required to legally own the firearm. The forms that you will fill out are legal documents that I would encourage you to read and understand in full. Before going you will need to verify you can legally own the firearm in KY. I know that may seem obvious, but I would encourage you to research the laws and verify. Just because you bought it online, does not mean you will pass the background investigation to own the firearm. Once that has occurred and you made the initial verification you meet the requirements, you will need your license and potentially a second form of identification (take both).

all you need is your KY license You will fill out the forms then wait for the NICS check to be done It could be quick or it could take days you will then get a approval or disapproval
