Currently sitting on the desk of Governor John Bel Edwards, is Louisiana’s Constitutional Carry Legislation, Senate Bill 118. With limited time for the Governor to sign this historic measure, NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters are encouraged to contact their State Representative and urge them to ask Governor Edwards to sign the bill into law. Also, please call Governor Edward’s office at 225-342-7015 and voice your support of Senate Bill 118.
Senate Bill 118 removes the requirement for law-abiding individuals to obtain a concealed handgun permit before being allowed to carry concealed, a handgun for self-defense. This important legislation ensures that citizens are able to exercise their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. This measure does not affect previously issued carry permits, and allows citizens who still wish to obtain a permit in order to carry in other states recognizing Louisiana permits, to do so.
Again, please contact your State Representative and urge them to ask Governor Edwards to sign the measure into law. Please also call Governor Edwards’ office at 225-342-7015 and voice your support of Senate Bill 118.
