Expert: Dean Speir Date: 4/15/2008 Subject: License, and where can I have my gun?
Question I live in Louisiana and own 2 pistols. I purchased them from pawn shops and have both bills of receipt. Is this adequate in this state, or am I in need of something else to legally have his gun? Secondly, what are the laws regarding carrying my guns in my car?
Thank you
Answer Your state of Louisiana (excluding the political subdivision of New Orleans) may be said to be one of the "firearms-friendliest" states in the entire Union.
