Louisiana Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is it legal to carry a concealed weapon in a bar in Louisiana?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes, with a permit

4. Yes, if the owner approves

The correct answer is: No

While Louisiana does allow for concealed carry of a weapon with a valid permit, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon in any establishment where alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises. This includes bars, restaurants, and other establishments. The option stating it is legal with a permit is not fully correct, as there are exceptions to where one can carry a concealed weapon even with a valid permit. Additionally, the option stating it is legal if the owner approves is also incorrect, as it is against state law to carry a concealed weapon in a bar regardless of the owner's approval. Therefore, the most accurate and complete answer is option B, as it takes into account the specific law regarding concealed carry in bars.
