Two bills to allow you to conceal carry a gun without a permit in Louisiana will be heard in legislative committees Tuesday. Last year Governor Edwards vetoed the legislation citing public safety concerns because the bill did not call for gun training. Oil City Representative Danny McCormick says he’s not giving up on constitutional carry in Louisiana.
Cut 7 (11) “…amendment rights.”
West Monroe Senator Jay Morris’ legislation, requires an online hour course on gun safety, McCormick’s legislation removes the requirement that a person must possess a permit issued by the state. McCormick says he trusts citizens of the state and their right to bear arms.
McCormick’s bill will be heard in House Criminal Justice and Morris’ bill in Senate Judiciary C Tuesday.
