re: Louisiana Constitutional Carry Bill Introduced

Am I reading this correctly. It would not eliminate the need to go through the process to obtain a CCP for handguns, it would no longer be a punishable offense if you are found with a concealed handgun. Which would then basically eliminate the need to obtain a permit. Or, are they trying to push through the bill indicating that all you need to do is apply for the CCP, no more classes and qualifications? If its the later, wouldn't that contradict what's on louisianastand's site about it being unlawful to require a citizen to request gov't assistance to conceal carry?

Will make it legal for residents of Louisiana to carry concealed within Louisiana without the need of a CCP if one is legally able to open carry/possess a firearm otherwise.

The CCP process will remain in place for those that want a CCP for concealed carry in other reciprocating states, etc. McCormick explained this on KEEL radio in Shreveport Monday (2/22).
