If an business does post a sign and you do carry. Whats he penalty? If they ask you to leave , then you leave. If you don't its a trespass , correct. So is there a penalty for you if you leave the premise when asked? Can the business detain you until police arrival?

After writing the State Police CHP office, and not wanting to revive a 21 page post , and against my better judgement. I received an email back from State Police today. So all of the speculation can end.
Subsection N, of LRS40:1379.3 clearly states where you cannot carry. Directly following that, Subsection O, Says the provisions of subsection N shall not limit the right of a property owner, lessee, or other lawful custodian to prohibit or restrict access to those persons possessing a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued under this section.
According to the Concealed Handgun Permit section, this means that if a property owner has posted a sign, regardless of size or literature, the exact reply by the State was
"If a business has a sign prohibiting firearms, it does carry weight, and all carrying is considered illegal."
So by that language, Subsection O, clearly gives a property owner, lessee, or lawful custodian the right, and weight of the law, to say you cannot carry in his/her place of business/property. It does not define how they must convey this intent, like the Texas law does. If there is a sign, it is a no go legally.
Anyone wishing to verify the validity of this, and look at the email is welcome to PM me, and we can make arrangements.
you are not presenting a realistic scenario as I pointed out.
If you don't know; you are not breaking the law-it's up to the state to prove you knew. It's called mens rea Pretty cut and dry if you ask me. I've had enough fun playing for now. I've put three kids through LSU with fees paid by people who try to see how close they can get to the edge without falling off. If you are a CCP holder one of the abilities you should have is possession of a modicum of situational awareness which includes observing whether or not an establishment is posted. And believe it or not most who post do it conspicuously because they do not want you carrying in their establishment. If they don't and you happen to be the unlucky one who gets popped it will be on you to show that the posting was not adequate for the reasonable man to see. If you are that worried about this, it seems obvious that you should not possess a CCP and carry a concealed weapon until you feel comfortable in assessing current situations. In other words until you can use common sense. Pure and simple.
There was a no speculation.
The signs have no "weight of law", except for a potential chicken **** trespassing sign.
The larger issue is that you should honor people's private property rights and more importantly, don't spend money at places that do not share your world view on issues you hold dear.
PS... LSP is not the final arbitrator of the law. What they say holds no weight in a court of law either way... the court of law determines the final outcome.
I wanna know if someone actually kept a sign behind the counter and not on the front door. That just sounds like utter BS to me...
This. Always blows my mind how people who are so picky about their right to be armed look for ways to violate someone’s right to not have weapons on their property. Just find somewhere else to do business.
I always love these discussions. People looking for a definitive answer when there really wouldn’t be one until tried in court. Want the answer? Go get yourself in trouble and bring it to court and see what the outcome is. Help Cajunlawyer put another one through college.
The law is pretty cut and dry. Not much to interpret there.
The law is pretty cut and dry. Except when it's not, as evidenced by Cajunlawer's contradictory interpretations. His first interpretation was that the state only needed to prove posting and carrying, which is actus reus, the opposite of mens rea. He then interpreted intention as being an element of the crime, stating the state had to prove mens rea rather than actus reus.
*Mens rea means guilty mind, or knowing you are committing a crime. Actus reus means guilty actions, or committing a crime with or without knowing it. An example of actus reus would be LA R.S. 14:80 Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. The law states "lack of knowledge of the juvenile's age shall not be a defense."
I have to admire your persistence.
The one in Central has it on the outside door .Seems like Waffle House had a sign that was inside
I take it you disagree with Cajunlawyer and his 35 years of experience.

Speedy: I realize I'm picking nits but law/lawyers, that's what ya do, right? "N. No concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issuedpursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun *IN* any of the following: (9) A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity."
What constitutes being *IN* a parade Owen?
Owen Courreges: Hmmm... You have something there. The most natural reading of being "in" a parade is actually participating, not merely attending. That said, I suspect a judge would throw the rule of lenity out the window if the issue actually came in front of them and find the accused guilty.
Just look at how the courts have handled the new gun rights amendment. I think it pretty clearly guaranteed constitutional carry by omitting language that allowed restrictions on concealment and also adding language subjecting all gun restrictions to strict scrutiny, but thus far the courts have basically ignored those facts and argued that everyone simply intended to preserve all existing gun laws (a preposterous notion not supported by the text). Judges don't like radical outcomes.
So while you're correct legally, I doubt it would pan out that way in practice. Basically, the one major decision on the issue decided that the people of Louisiana basically superimposed "new" before "restriction," so that all traditional restrictions were basically grandfathered in. They essentially just amended the text arbitrarily. It's a very frustrating decision.
Take yer paid items and exit the building. No issues. You were not advised until after the fact and you exited once notified.What’s if it’s on your receipt below where u sign the CC ticket
