MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
MERRITT S. DEITZ, Bankruptcy Judge.
Marvin Wright filed a Chapter 7 petition in bankruptcy on July 14,1982, and claimed two guns and an automobile as exempt based on KRS 427.160, which grants a $1,000 general exemption applicable to any property in the bankruptcy estate.
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(f), Wright has moved this Court to avoid the liens of Peoples Security Finance Company on these items because they impair an exemption to which he would otherwise be entitled. Predictably, the creditor has objected.
