As of August 1, local governments cannot impose gun restrictions for businesses and buildings tougher than what Louisiana law states.
For instance, your city government official cannot make rules stopping you from conceal carrying a firearm in a store within its jurisdiction if Louisiana law says it’s allowed.
State Law is now unaffected by local laws or ordinances regarding firearms.
House Bill 140 does not apply to places like the courthouse or city hall.
You still need to be aware of and abide by all the State Laws regarding places and times you are allowed and not allowed to carry a firearm concealed or open carry for that matter.
And the most important thing to remember is to learn how to use your firearm safely and effectively in case you ever need it to defend yourself or those you love.
