Louisiana: Legislature Adjourns Sine Die from 2025 Session

Yesterday, June 12, the Louisiana legislature adjourned sine die from the 2025 legislative session. This year was extremely productive for the advancement of Second Amendment protections. NRA successfully worked with the pro-Second Amendment majority to pass four critical bills and ensure that all anti-gun bills were defeated.

NRA thanks Governor Jeff Landry, Senate President Cameron Henry, House Speaker Phillip DeVillier, all legislators who advanced critical legislation, and all NRA members and fellow Second Amendment advocates who engaged their legislators this session.

The Louisiana Senate and House passed the following key pro-gun measures:

SB 101, authored by Sen. Blake Miguez, ensures constitutional carriers and out-of-state concealed carry permit holders who have reciprocity with Louisiana can carry firearms in more areas across the state by eliminating some gun-free zones. This bill has been sent to Governor Landry for his signature.

HB 289, authored by Rep. Dewith Carrier, is a pro-Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bill that further protects the firearm and ammunition industry from being held responsible for the third-party misuse of products they manufacture or sell. This legislation makes Louisiana a more attractive environment for firearm and ammunition-related businesses. This bill has been signed into law by Governor Landry.

HB 393, authored by Rep. Dennis Bamburg, clarifies the present law recognizing the rights of a bystander or spectator to carry a concealed handgun at a parade or demonstration. This bill has been sent to Governor Landry for his signature.

HB 407, authored by Rep. Lauren Ventrella, allows non-residents to apply for and obtain a Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit. This bill has been sent to Governor Landry for his signature.

NRA will be back in Baton Rouge in 2026 to keep fighting for the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates.
