State Senate upholds veto of constitutional carry legislation

The Senate kills an effort to override the Governor’s veto of legislation that would remove the need to get a permit to carry a concealed firearm for those 21 and older. That came after four Senators backed away from their previous support of the bill in the regular session resulting in the override effort falling three votes short. Three of the four Senators to change their mind were Republicans. One of those was Natchitoches Senator Louie Bernard who told colleagues after some reflection away from Baton Rouge and conversations with local law enforcement leaders he just couldn’t keep his support.

Law enforcement officials ask lawmakers not to overturn constitutional carry veto

Dozens of law enforcement officials from around the state gathered in Baton Rouge Thursday to implore lawmakers to not override Governor Edwards’ veto of legislation allowing concealed carry without a permit. Under the bill, those 21 and older who are not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm would be allowed to carry a concealed handgun without needing to demonstrate firearm proficiency and safety knowledge during an eight-hour concealed carry course. Several sheriffs were in attendance despite the fact that the highly influential Louisiana Sheriffs Association has remained neutral on the topic. One of those sheriffs was Craig Webre of Lafourche who said allowing unlicensed, untrained people to carry concealed firearms in public is a recipe for disaster.
