Another gun in a vehicle question
Posted on 7/26/16 at 7:04 am

In Louisiana I know you can carry your handgun in your vehicle without a conceal carry permit. But is there any specific stipulation about how it must be stored? Does it have to be in a case and unloaded? Or can it be in a glove compartment or center console either loaded or unloaded? I'm having trouble finding those details. Thanks.

Thanks guys. That was significantly faster than my time spent on google yesterday that still provided no definitive answer. My google skills probably just suck.

Know that while state law has you covered, it does not protect you from any company or organization policy.
For example, it's legal to have a firearm in your car on LSU's campus. But, it is against school policy and they reserve the right to dismiss you from the school if they find out. You aren't breaking state law but you're breaking school policy. That's the grey area.

Anywhere in the vehicle as you like Loaded or unloaded
Even on yourself as long as you are in the vechicle

2008 La. ALS 684 (codified at La. Rev. Stat. § 32:292.1). The law forbids a property owner, tenant, public or private employer, or business entity from prohibiting any person from transporting or storing a firearm in this manner, but this rule does not apply if access is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station, signage, or other means of restricting or limiting general public access onto the parking area, and the employer or business entity provides facilities for the temporary storage of unloaded firearms, or an alternative parking area reasonably close to the main parking area in which employees and other persons may transport or store firearms in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles. The law also expressly allows an employer or business entity to adopt policies specifying that firearms stored in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles on property controlled by an employer or business entity be hidden from plain view or within a locked case or container within the vehicle. ((Id. See also, 2009 La. AG LEXIS 330 (opining that federal law does not preempt La. Rev. Stat. § 32:292.1). ?

Does not apply to schools you are correct but does apply to companies and employers

Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected.

That law could easily be challenged in court as unconstitutional (on state level certainly) on various grounds, depending on the facts of the circumstances.
but as for the OP, generally, LA treats vehicles similar to one's home as far as gun laws go. Just be conscientious about where you are and store the gun

It flies in the face of multiple property rights and has severe public safety implications.
That being said, you could make strong arguments on both sides and is very fact specific.

Not trolling, but can you be more specific?

Ordinarily, you are king of your own property. This law forbids you from placing certain restrictions on what people can do on your land. Outside of this law, you can pretty much tell people not to bring their stuff onto your property, no matter if they keep in in their car. That is a natural part of ownership. This law restricts your ownership rights.

You could argue that it places undue burden on property owners by requiring them to have a place to effectively store guns when someone else is bringing their gun on to your private property.
We can all realize places where guns shouldnt be allowed except for certain instances (schools, bars, chemical plants).
Basically, what I was trying to say is don't point to this law as evidence that you can do whatever you want with your gun while its in your car.

I'm going to point to this law whenever someone asks these questions. Whether or not you agree with this law is one thing. I am following the law and there is no evidence other than personal opinion to point otherwise.

thank you for bringing that specific law to the attention on the board.
Yes, that is a law on the book and yes I gave my opinion to the legality of it.
However, we don't have the full context of that law. Additionally, it's easy to misinterpret the law and a simple misunderstanding could lead someone to big trouble ... Especially when it comes to carrying guns into the wrong place (even in your car).
stay conscientious and be safe!

Since Wayne's question was answered ...
What are the laws about bringing a handgun on a boat without a concealed carry permit? Same as car?
