Constitutional carry takes effect in Louisiana on July 4, 2024, but New Orleans will still require concealed carry permits until August 1. The city's law will trump state law until then.

Key Points

  • New Orleans will require concealed carry permits until August 1, while constitutional carry takes effect on July 4.
  • NOPD officers have received special training to ensure they do not violate anyone's constitutional rights during the transition period.

Pros

  • Constitutional carry allows law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights without the need for a permit.

Cons

  • New Orleans will continue to require concealed carry permits for a month after constitutional carry takes effect.
