A bill that would allow any non-felon Louisiana resident
to concealed carry a gun without a permit has passed both
the state House and Senate and is expected to be signed
by Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA).
The Republican-backed proposal, SB 1, passed the House
on Wednesday by a 75-28 vote and the Senate 28-10 last
week. If signed, Louisiana would be the 28th state to
enact a constitutional carry-style law.
The Louisiana bill says “that law-abiding persons
eighteen years of age and not otherwise prohibited
may carry a concealed weapon lawfully without a permit,”
removing previous requirements for concealed carry
in the state.
. . .
Very good.
Of course the anti-constitutionalists will scream about
bodies littering the streets and olde-west showdowns
on every corner at high noon. The MSM never mentions that
such things do NOT happen in states with constitutional
carry laws. 99% of the shootings are the usual - thug
on thug.
As writ, there are already 27 states where constitutional
carry already exists.
Does constitutional carry make Joe/Jane Average safer ? That's
hard to say. Makes him FEEL safer though, which is important,
and once in a while, we do hear of armed citizens stopping
psychos. Stats are difficult because every entity, and its
biases, tend to define things differently. At the very least
though, CC doesn't seem to HURT the overall situation.
