Frequently Asked CCW Questions:
Where can I look for the FAQ's
http://www.lsp.org/pdf/chFAQ.pdf
Where can I carry in Louisiana?
http://www.lsp.org/handguns.html#laws
Page 18 has where you can and can not carry -
What about CCW while hunting
"We allowed handguns in the possession of fishermen [in the wildlife
management areas] for a while... We started finding dead alligators
floating everywhere in the WMAs on Monday or Tuesday after numerous
fishermen had been in the areas over the weekend. You guessed it. [The
alligators] were shot. Seems the fishermen don't like alligators eating
fish... We also have a tradition in the southern part of the state of
people shooting fledgling herons from the nests for food..."
As a result, handguns were banned from the WMAs. Louisiana also issued
regulations that said that muzzleloader and bow hunters can only carry
.22-caliber pistols loaded with "ratshot" for protection against
poisonous snakes. Ratshot consists of No.12 shot in a plastic cap
inside a .22 rimfire cartridge. Larger-caliber personal-defense
handguns may not be carried while hunting.
What is the law regarding CCW in Louisiana and blood alcohol.
The blood alcohol reading of a permittee is .05 percent or greater by weight of alcohol
in the blood.
