I have called the LSP and been told things that were specifically in direct violation of State code before. To wit, that carrying your weapon openly- would be considered brandishing and illegal carry. I was not unclear on this, and was told this specifically.
A "no firearms" clause in a dwelling lease is no more valid than a "no blacks" clause. If one rents it, and it has a bed or bedroom, then one can carry his gun there.
I had a doctor tell me that I couldn't carry in a hospital room once. I asked him if he was paying the rent there, or if I was.
im pretty sure a landlord can restrict firearms on the property. anyone have any case law otherwise?Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability)

This is confusing to me. In the following, it seems to be saying I cannot carry concealed in my home or on my property without a permit:
*********************************************************************************************************
-- OPEN CARRY LAW --
It is lawful to carry a firearm provided it is not concealed. A firearm in a holster is not concealed. It is lawful to carry a handgun in the glove compartment of a motor vehicle. The law makes no exception for carrying a firearm concealed "on one's person" even in the home.
*********************************************************************************************************
Yet,
*********************************************************************************************************
7) Vehicle carry and transportation: Louisiana has no law covering firearms inside motor vehicles. Since there is no law, anyone who can legally possess a firearm can carry a loaded firearm inside a vehicle. It can be the glove box, console, under the seat, or concealed on one's person. Louisiana allows such carry. In Louisiana your vehicle is treated as an extension of your home so the castle doctrine extends to your motor vehicle.
***********************************************************************************************************
This sounds like you can conceal carry in your car, and since the car is an extension of your home, you can conceal carry in your home.
Is this confusing to anyone else?
thanks
