1. Yes, if they own property in Louisiana

2. No

3. Yes, but they must have a permit from their home state

4. Yes, for all non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes, if they own property in Louisiana

Yes, a non-resident can apply for a Louisiana concealed handgun permit if they own property in Louisiana. Louisiana law allows non-residents to apply for a concealed handgun permit if they meet certain requirements, one of which includes owning property in the state. This provision allows non-residents with a stake in Louisiana, such as property owners, to exercise their Second Amendment rights while in the state. Option B is incorrect because non-residents, under specific circumstances like owning property in Louisiana, can apply for a concealed handgun permit. Option C is incorrect as it does not mention the necessity of property ownership in Louisiana for non-residents to apply for a permit. Option D is also incorrect as it does not consider the requirement of owning property in Louisiana for non-residents to be eligible for a concealed handgun permit.
