Has no impact on reciprocity, since that is for permit holders.

Exactly why I put "unless something has changed" as the last four words in my reply. Laws change constantly, get revised, ammended, etc so keeping up with them is a chore. I didn't mean to disperse inaccurate info, and appreciate and thank AustinBR for correcting me. See his reply (post #108 in this thread).
It has passed and will go into effect in July.
SB 2 just passed as well! 74-30 The Governor ain't f**king around!
Whatever becomes of this Special Session on Crime on down the road, whether some of this stuff works or not, one thing is crystal clear; Landry said he would do something about crime if he was elected; and he is following through!

I’m staying on this side of the room. Thanks to the guys with the updates and ignoring folks who misspeak and sidetrack thread, lol. I guess I’ll get a cigar and a good bourbon ready.
For those of you that are concealed carry instructors, you may want to consider a condensed course on handgun safety for those that are willing to learn but not willing to take a full "permit" course!?! Might be away to pick up some extra cash in lieu of the new laws.
What sucked most about the CHP course was the mandatory fingerprinting, the mandatory photos, and the mandatory overkill on one's personal information along with paying for those things. Now that is all moot! However, I will attest, that though some of the course instruction was interesting and good knowledge, it is now unnecessary. But basic safety training is never out of fashion.

I made a decision early on not to get a CHP for several reasons. One major point for me was having to jump through all those hoops and pay fees in order to exercise was I considered to be a basic Constitutional right. Additionally, I am an NRA certified range safety officer and a match director at three monthly handgun competitions and I've been competing in those matches for over 40 years. I considered the process to get a CHP a slap in the face. Now I fully understand that I would benefit from instruction on laws concerning use of force but that is a separate issue as far as I'm concerned. I've never carried concealed in order to stay in compliance with the laws as they were and am thankful that I will now be able to do so lawfully. I agree that no less than a simple course on laws would be helpful, or at least publicly available text on applicable laws concerning safely and legally exercising carrying concealed.

On a negative side will probably see a rise in establishments with no firearm sign being some store owners probably feel if you didn’t take the course and have a permit you shouldn’t carry so we restrict carry….or because if new people improperly carrying and not acting correctly, but Concealed is concealed. lol
Yes. They can also prohibit blue shirts paired with yellow hats.
But you don't break a law if you choose to ignore a sign that says "no yellow hats."
You would break the law if the owner asks you to leave and you refuse.
To keep your CHP, yes.
There are perks that will come with the CHP that those without it will not have. Examples are:
Being able to carry in states that honor LA permits, carrying within 1000 ft of a school, and skipping a background check when buying a new firearm.
There is also another bill that will likely pass that will give something akin to qualified immunity to those with a CHP.

Yes, but that's a very small number of states. As a LA CCW holder I can currently carry in 37 other states that have reciprocity. What happens to that now? If that changes, this would be a huge step backwards from the status quo for those who travel a lot.
And consequently, does this change in Louisiana law mean you can no longer get a CCW? Or just that you don't need one in this state? I'd much rather keep and renew my permit if that allows me to travel to many more states.
There is no indication that the reciprocity would go away for those who have a LA CHP.
Additionally, most of those 37 states (not all, but most) already have constitutional carry as is...not that it matters for those with a LA CHP.
CCW = Concealed Carry Weapon
CHP = Concealed Handgun Permit
The change in law does not impact your ability to get either. You won't need a CHP to carry concealed, but having one will allow you co carry concealed within 1000ft of schools.
I have seen signs in MS (Constitutional Carry state) that only restricts carry in an establishment without CHP.
Didn’t think that signage in LA was binding and a criminal offense. But wondering if we may see signage similar to what I saw in MS once Constitutional Carry takes effect in LA
