Can a non-resident apply for a Louisiana concealed handgun permit?

Yes, if they are employed in Louisiana
Yes, but only if they own property in Louisiana
No, only Louisiana residents can apply
Yes, no restrictions for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are employed in Louisiana

A non-resident can apply for a Louisiana concealed handgun permit if they are employed in Louisiana. This is the correct answer because Louisiana allows non-residents who work in the state to apply for a concealed handgun permit. This provision allows individuals who have employment within Louisiana to exercise their Second Amendment rights while carrying a concealed handgun for personal protection. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: - Option B stating that non-residents can apply for a concealed handgun permit only if they own property in Louisiana is inaccurate. Ownership of property in Louisiana is not a prerequisite for non-residents to apply for a concealed handgun permit in the state. - Option C stating that only Louisiana residents can apply is incorrect as Louisiana law does allow non-residents who are employed in the state to apply for a concealed handgun permit. - Option D suggesting that there are no restrictions for non-residents to apply for a Louisiana concealed handgun permit is misleading. Non-residents need to meet specific criteria, such as being employed in Louisiana, to be eligible to apply for a permit.
