A bill is one step away from the Governor's desk.

Senate Bill aims to allows anyone, 21 and older, to conceal a weapon without a permit.

Several testified against the bill including Anita Franklin, her son Antonio was an innocent bystander killed by gunfire in Lexington Park.

"We already have this epidemic of gun violence and they talk about the abiding citizens getting the permits and that's good," said Anita Franklin.

, bill supporters say the bill reinforces Kentuckians' constitutional rights.

"It is not the role of the government to force its citizens to ask for their permission and pay recurrent fees in order to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights," Rep. Savannah Maddox.

Rep. Charles Booker was passionate during the dicussion, "this will not protect me it won't protect me I've lost family to this Philando Catille, EJ Bradford, Tyrone Booker Junior...NO!"

The bill moves to the full House.
