Louisiana no-permit gun bill advances
Fox News
A bill that would allow Louisiana citizens to carry a concealed firearm without a permit advanced through the House Criminal Justice Committee Wednesday.
The bill would allow people to freely carry a hidden gun without any permit or training, though it was amended by the House committee to include an optional training course, reports said. It now matches the goal of HB 596, written by Rep. Bryan Fontenot, R-Thibodaux. Fontenot's bill is awaiting a Senate committee hearing. SB 118 also states that a gun holder cannot have a blood-alcohol level above .05 and must notify any police officer who approaches them.More Related News
