Bill > HB393

This bill amends Louisiana's existing law regarding concealed handgun permits by modifying the restrictions on carrying concealed weapons during permitted parades or demonstrations. Currently, concealed handguns are prohibited at such events. The bill creates a nuanced distinction, specifying that the ban applies only to active participants in the parade or demonstration, while explicitly allowing bystanders and spectators to carry concealed handguns at these events. This means that someone who is merely watching a parade or demonstration can still legally carry a concealed weapon, whereas someone who is an official participant in the event cannot. The change provides more flexibility for concealed carry permit holders while maintaining some restrictions in specific public gathering contexts.
