We would like to remind everyone of the following information pertaining to firearms.
Louisiana’s Law restricts you from:
• Intentionally concealing a firearm if you do not possess a concealed carry permit.
• Possessing a firearm in combination with a Controlled Dangerous Substance
• Possessing a firearm if you are convicted of a crime of violence or simple burglary, burglary of a pharmacy, burglary of an inhabited dwelling, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, felony illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities, manufacture or possession of a delayed action incendiary device, manufacture or possession of a bomb, or possession of a firearm while in the possession of or during the sale or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, or any violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law which is a felony, or any crime which is defined as a sex offense
• Possessing a firearm on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet, even if the possessor has been issued a concealed carry permit.
Firearms illegally possessed and illegally carried in large crowds creates dangerous situations for both the public and first responders.
