Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new Louisiana law regarding firearms and alcohol consumption?

A new Louisiana law prohibits carrying firearms on premises where onsite alcohol consumption is permitted. This affects establishments like bars, gas stations, and stores with liquor licenses for on-site consumption, particularly impacting areas like New Orleans.
