The state of Louisiana recognizes open carry. No person shall carry a concealed firearm intentionally without a permit unless one is a peace officer in performance of his or her official duties. The Deputy Secretary of Public Safety Services of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall issue a concealed handgun permit to any citizen who qualifies for a permit.
Thanks. Wish Texas had that.
Actually, I wished they had Alaska style carry laws.
For reference of why my question:
Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun...and intentionally displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place.
