Bill > SB101

This bill modifies Louisiana's existing laws regarding illegal carrying of weapons, primarily focusing on changes to weapon possession rules for schools and individuals. The bill revises the definition of "school" to explicitly exclude privately owned vocational-technical schools, which means these institutions would not be subject to the same weapon restrictions as public schools. It also updates the provisions related to firearm possession, lowering the age of legal firearm possession from 21 to 18 years old for individuals who are not prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. The bill expands concealed handgun permit reciprocity by allowing permits from states with reciprocity agreements with Louisiana, and permits carrying a concealed handgun within 1,000 feet of a school campus for individuals with valid permits. Additionally, the bill removes some previous detailed requirements about military service and identification for firearm possession, simplifying the legal language around weapon carrying regulations. These changes aim to provide more flexibility in weapon possession while maintaining certain safety restrictions, particularly in educational settings.
