BATON ROUGE, La. — The state House advanced a bill Wednesday that eliminates the permit requirement for carrying a concealed handgun.
The bill now goes to Governor Jeff Landry for his signature.
As reported by our media partners at The Advocate, the law will allow any law-abiding citizen over the age of 18 to own and carry a concealed weapon without a permit or training.

If signed, the new law will take effect on July 4, 2024.
