Louisiana Adopts “Constitutional Carry,” Eliminates Gun Permits and Training Requirements

Louisiana is the latest state to adopt "Constitutional Carry," a law that allows individuals who can legally purchase a gun to carry it in public without needing a permit or training. This law goes into effect this week, making Louisiana the 29th state to enact such legislation.
