Louisiana is advancing towards Constitutional Carry with the filing of House Bill 16. The bill's passage is considered likely due to the state's Republican-controlled legislature and Governor John Bel Edwards' past support for Second Amendment rights. This move aims to eliminate the need for a special permit to carry a concealed firearm, arguing that if open carry is legal, concealed carry should not require additional licensing.
