Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of constitutional carry legislation in Louisiana?

Louisiana is actively pursuing constitutional carry, with Senate Bill One pre-filed by Senator Blake Magz. Governor Jeff Landry has included the authorization of concealed weapons without a permit as an item for consideration in a special legislative session starting February 19th.

What does Louisiana's proposed constitutional carry law entail?

The proposed law aims to allow all law-abiding adults aged 18 and older to carry a concealed firearm without needing a government permit. It would not alter federal prohibitions on firearm possession and would maintain the existing permit system for reciprocity purposes.

Will Louisiana's constitutional carry law affect who is legally allowed to carry a firearm?

No, the legislation is intended to remove the permit requirement for eligible individuals. Federally prohibited persons will still be prohibited from possessing firearms, and the law does not change these existing federal regulations.

Why would someone still get a permit if Louisiana passes constitutional carry?

Even with constitutional carry, individuals may still choose to obtain a permit for reciprocity reasons. This allows them to carry concealed firearms in other states that may require a permit for out-of-state visitors to do so.
