What does Louisiana law state about firearms in vehicles?

Firearms must be unloaded and locked in a trunk
Firearms may be carried openly or concealed
Concealed firearms require a permit
Only shotguns and rifles are permitted

The correct answer is: Firearms may be carried openly or concealed

Louisiana law allows individuals to carry firearms in their vehicles either openly or concealed without the need for a special permit. This means that individuals in Louisiana have the legal right to have firearms in their vehicles, as long as they are in compliance with all other firearm laws within the state. Option A is incorrect because Louisiana law does not specifically require firearms in vehicles to be unloaded and locked in a trunk. Option C is incorrect because while carrying a concealed firearm in Louisiana does require a permit for general carry, this requirement does not extend to firearms being transported in a vehicle. Option D is incorrect because Louisiana law does not restrict the types of firearms that can be carried in a vehicle to only shotguns and rifles.
