Today, the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee passed constitutional carry legislation, Senate Bill 1, by a 7-3 vote. The bill now heads to the Senate floor for a final vote tomorrow, February 22. It is possible that weakening amendments could be proposed, and your state senator needs to hear from you now!
Senate Bill 1 strengthens the right to self-defense in Louisiana by recognizing the right of any law-abiding adult, who is at least 18 years old, to carry a concealed firearm without first having to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without red tape, delays, or fees. It does not change who is eligible to obtain a carry permit nor impact the existing permitting system. People who still wish to obtain a permit may do so for out-of-state carry and other lawful purposes.
Again, please contact your state senator and ask them to SUPPORT Senate Bill 1 with NO AMENDMENTS.
