    I moved here from CA for work. I've been shooting most of my adult life and looking forward to shooting more here in LA. Are there any particular laws I should be concerned about specifically around transporting firearms? CA was somewhat strict on locking up firearms separate from ammo while traveling.

    You are free to carry in your vehicle with no restrictions. You can open carry on your person if you so desire where it is not restricted by law.

    It's in your best interest if you have any liberal California thinking or bad habits to ditch them :) If stopped by the cops , be respectful and answer their questions and the majority will respond in same

    btw....If you're a dummycrat.. switch over to any other party

    Welcome from S/W La.---relax you're in Louisiana now---land of the free (almost) and home of the brave (most of us). You should read over the restrictions but this ain't California!!! Just be safe with your firearms. Have a good evening.

    Concealed carry. We are a shall issue state. One day class on "da bullets go in here and go out here", use of deadly force, and a 36 round course of fire that is more of a sobriety test than a test of marksmanship. For more info...

    Don't open carry in New Orleans, it will not be a Good experience.
