Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on March 5, 2024, making Louisiana the 28th constitutional carry state in the US.
This move was highlighted as the beginning of efforts to protect freedoms in the state.
The legislation had passed both the Senate and the House in February 2024, with Gov. Landry expressing his support for constitutional carry during his gubernatorial campaign.
