AI Summary

This bill proposes the following key provisions: 1. It exempts certain individuals who are 21 years of age or older and not prohibited from possessing firearms from the crime of illegally carrying weapons. 2. It creates the "Louisiana Firearm Safety Awareness Act," which requires the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to provide a free, two-hour online handgun education course for Louisiana residents. The course covers topics such as handgun basics, firearm-free zones, use of deadly force, interactions with law enforcement, and safe handling of handguns. 3. The completion of this online course does not grant the right to carry a concealed handgun, but is intended to educate the public on firearm safety and use. 4. The bill also maintains an online database of licensed handgun and firearm instructors to allow the public to search for classes.
