re: People said that Constitutional Carry would turn Louisiana into the Wild West

People also said that moving to unanimous jury verdicts would cripple the criminal legal system and all but ensure that no black person was ever convicted of a crime in Louisiana ever again.
People are very, very stupid, and will do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to defend a status quo that meshes with their already held ideology.

It already is a nationwide law. The 2nd amendment.
Turns out, however, whole lot levels of government love to wipe their arse with the Constitution.

Ugh Hillar Moore's office has recently lost a couple of lock cinch murder cases because of this .

than 90% for fifty years, so experts say the recent back-to-back acquittals of two men tried for murder after being prosecuted within the same month is highly unusual.
First, Kevin Dukes was acquitted in the murder of Julius Thomas on Aug. 2, and then 18 days later, Jarvis Lee Bowie was acquitted in the murder of Clarence Augustus.
LSU Law Professor Ken Levy says acquittals in these cases are as rare as they come.
"If this is a fluke or trend where defendants in two cases were acquitted, I think it's much more common for prosecutors to win their cases. To get two back-to-back acquittals strikes me as rare, but again, I don't know. It could have been a coincidence," Levy said.
Bowie's defense attorney, Alex Laird, says both Dukes' and his client's case had one thing in common: a tracking app called TraX.
"It's a very imprecise way of trying to pinpoint someone's location. It would try to say they're in a five-mile radius circle somewhere on a map. I think that it needs to be looked at, I don't think the state should be relying on TraX software," Levy said.
Professor Levy said if the app was being used in both cases as evidence, it could be a common denominator.

"If juries aren't buying that an app is reliable and that are acquitting on that basis, there's your answer. I think that the lesson for the district attorney is to stop relying on that app for evidence because the jury isn't buying it," Levy said.
The District Attorney was not available to comment on the matter Wednesday.

The premise of needing a license to conceal carry is stupid anyways because the definition of concealed carry is that no one knows you're carrying.
Texas previously had a "printing" law as a part of the LTC. Before open carry, if someone could make out that you had a gun on your hip through your shirt, you were subject to have the policeman harass and ticket you. Fortunately we went to permitless carry and the concept of printing went away. Always thought that was a dumb rule. Most gun laws are redundant and not logical anyways.

Tennessee has had Constitutional carry since 2021. It has not turned our state into the Wild West either.

What? You need a unanimous verdict to convict or acquit. Both of those cases had unanimous verdicts to acquit.
The nonsense propaganda that a hung jury results in a verdict of acquittal needs to die.

It all boils down to criminals with guns compared to law abiding citizens with guns or good vs. evil!

A far bigger problem occurs when people don’t exercise their constitutional carry right, and instead, leave guns in their car.
So many “illegal” guns on the street are stolen from vehicles. Vehicle burglaries are so high across the state that the police often don’t respond and rarely investigate. The only reason for a victim to even report a vehicle burglary is for insurance purposes, or to notify police of a stolen firearm.
Chances are you will do more work by filing a report, dealing with insurance, and repairing any damage, than the police will do investigating the burglary.

It's almost like creating laws that criminals already ignore won't solve the problem.

IMO the benefit of CC wasn't so much having the license to carry but more so the public being educated at least to some degree on the laws surrounding carrying (i.e. castle doctrine, etc). But I'm of the opinion that morally if you carry you should make an effort to be educated about what you're carrying.

I have never been in favor of a law requiring legal citizens to have to be permitted to carry a gun “concealed”.
