Today, the Senate Judiciary C Committee passed constitutional carry legislation, Senate Bill 1, by a 6-1 vote. It will now head to the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee for a hearing tomorrow, February 21, at 10:30 AM. Please contact committee members and ask them to SUPPORT SB 1.
NRA members and Second Amendment supporters are encouraged to attend tomorrow’s hearing and support constitutional carry.
Senate Bill 1 strengthens the right to self-defense in Louisiana by recognizing the right of any law-abiding adult who is at least 18 years old to carry a concealed firearm without first having to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without red tape, delays, or fees. It does not change who is eligible to obtain a carry permit nor impact the existing permitting system. People who still wish to obtain a permit may do so for out of state carry and other lawful purposes.
Again, please contact committee members asking them to SUPPORT SB 1 and consider attending the hearing.
