LOUISIANA PERMITLESS CONCEAL CARRY

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has signed constitutional carry into law. Beginning on Independence Day, July 4, the carrying of a concealed gun by a non-felon will be legal without a permit.Show more

Restrictions on where a gun can be carried will be hot topics during the upcoming regular session. Louisiana has long been an "open carry' state but the new law is uncharted territory for Louisiana. All the states bordering Louisiana have passed permit less carry.

At the bill signing Governor Landry said, "“Today, we join 27 other states in passing Constitutional Carry. I promised the folks of Louisiana that I would champion Constitutional Carry into law, and within two months, I have honored that commitment. It's fundamentally clear—law-abiding citizens should never have to seek government permission to safeguard themselves and their families. Today, we have secured an incredible victory for liberty in Louisiana."
