Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new Louisiana law regarding firearm carry for veterans?

What are the eligibility requirements for Louisiana veterans to carry a concealed weapon without a permit?

To qualify for veteran constitutional carry in Louisiana, individuals must be 21 years of age or older, not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and must not have been convicted of a felony. Dishonorable discharge from military service also disqualifies an individual.

Why was a law specifically for veterans passed instead of broader constitutional carry in Louisiana?

State Senator Jay Morris explains that a previous attempt at universal constitutional carry was vetoed by the governor. The veteran-specific bill was seen as a more achievable step, with the expectation that future political changes would allow for broader permitless carry.

How can veterans prove their status for concealed carry in Louisiana?

Veterans can have their status noted on their Louisiana driver's license by providing their DD214. This allows them to present their driver's license as proof of veteran status if questioned by law enforcement.
