The legislation was written by Republican state Sen. Blake M [1] Louisiana has indeed become the \u200blatest state to allow concealed carry without a permit, as a new law takes effect on Independence Day. This law, authored by Republican state\u2063 Sen. Blake Miguez, \u200dprovides the right for law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns lawfully without a permit. It applies to residents who are\u200c at least 18 \u200cyears \u200bold and have no restrictions from owning a gun due to previous felonies. This change in legislation reflects a shift in gun laws in Louisiana.<\/p>\n[2]    \u2063 The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-push-to-loosen-gun-restrictions-in-several-states\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers push to loosen gun restrictions in several states\">concealed carry law<\/a> in Louisiana will allow 18-year-olds to\u200c have guns without a permit starting on the Fourth of July. This means residents who\u200b meet the age \u200brequirement and have no disqualifying factors can \u2062lawfully carry concealed \u2062handguns without needing a permit. It marks a significant development in the state&#8217;s gun legislation and provides \u2062more freedom for individuals when it\u200d comes\u200d to carrying firearms.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">\n<div class=\"tdb-search-form-inner\"><input class=\"tdb-head-search-form-input\" placeholder=\" \" type=\"text\" value name=\"s\" autocomplete=\"off\"><button class=\"wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn tdb-head-search-form-btn\" title=\"Search\" type=\"submit\"><span>Search<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Louisiana becomes latest state to allow concealed carry without a permit<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-author-name-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-author-by\">By<\/span> <a class=\"tdb-author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/asher-notheis\/\">Asher Notheis<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><time class=\"entry-date updated td-module-date\" datetime=\"2024-07-04T06:00:00-04:00\">July 4, 2024 6:00 am<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1693824\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gun owners in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/louisiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Louisiana<\/a> can start enjoying additional freedoms on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/independence-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Independence Day<\/a>, thanks to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-is-for-stoners-commonwealth-becomes-16th-state-to-legalize-marijuana\/\" title=\"Virginia Is For Stoners: Commonwealth Becomes 16th State To Legalize Marijuana\">law allowing<\/a> them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dozens-shot-few-dead-in-weekend-chicago-violence\/\" title=\"Dozens shot, few dead in weekend Chicago violence\">conceal carry<\/a> without a permit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.la.gov\/legis\/ViewDocument.aspx?d=1342788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>The new law<\/a> applies to all state residents who are at least 18 years old and do not have any restrictions preventing them from owning a gun due to previous felonies.
