Your Property Rights Under Constitutional Carry Law
Jul 2, 2024
On Thursday, July 4, 2024, the law allowing constitutional carry of concealed firearms for Louisiana residents 18 and older will take effect. Those locations that previously prohibited concealed carry remain in effect that include public buildings, courthouses, libraries and other locations.
Permitted concealed or constitutional carry of a firearm or other weapon continues to be strictly prohibited in bars (Class A - General license). This prohibition does not apply to restaurants (Class A - Restaurant), unless the tenant/lessee/owner of a business chooses to prohibit them and provides the appropriate notice to the public near the entrance to their premises.
Private property rights extend to owners, lessees or tenants (including restaurants, hotels or other retail businesses) that can prohibit the concealed or carrying of any weapons on their property. You may utilize this download (or something similar), which also includes the Louisiana statutory reference, to clearly communicate your choice to prohibit weapons on your premises should you decide to do so.
