re: So starting tomorrow we can take our guns with us concealed with no permit?

I like that. Restaurants were formerly no carry if they served liquor. So this law changes that.

That's the thing. Starting tomorrow said class is no longer needed. That whole industry will be dead in Louisiana. If you're a concealed carry instructor this is going to hurt.

Kentucky repealed carried conceal in 2019. I know some folks who run CCDW classes. People will still obtain their license if they travel (I believe 20-ish states still require CCDW).

A lot of those instructors also saw an influx of people taking classes for safety in the last few years. Especially among women. So it balances out IMO.

It is important to remember that Louisiana currently has an alcohol limit of .05 BAC or greater for those concealed carrying a firearm in public. It is not a good idea to mix the consumptions of large quantities of alcohol with firearms. You are in the best defensive position to protect yourself and your family from the attack of a violent criminal when you are not under the influence of alcohol

A year from now, I wonder if more innocents will die as a result of this idiocy or if there'll be more criminals killed in the act of robbing restaurants/bars.

Government sure has a bad habit of managing for the outliers. Like there are armed felons walking into restaurants all over Louisiana and opening fire or something...we better fix that by allowing there to be more guns in the hands of drunk people!

Bold strategy.

Guaranteed there will be a lot more people prosecuted for gun related offenses because Murica and 2A so I don’t need no training.

The industry will be fine because smart people who actually leave the state of Louisiana that carry concealed are still going to get permits. Because we’re smart and know the laws.

Not exactly. If it is primarily a restaurant that also serves alcohol, you can carry in the restaurant portion but not the "bar" portion. Most will have the bar separated by a low wall, railing, or it is up a couple of steps but there may be tables in that area. You shouldn't accept a table in that section. If it is primarily a bar that may serve some food, it's a no go.
If alcohol exceeds primary sales, you can't carry there. Restaurants that HAVE BARS, are fine, but the bar AREA is off limits.

You don't understand the term "rate" do you?

That’s hilarious. I’m sure the thugs playing shooting games will take it under advisement. Bet a non-thug gets busted 1st.

It is still private property. If they post no firearms then it needs to be abided. I soured a bit on open carry because I have now witnessed how many people do not know the difference between public and private property.

Idaho is constitutional carry. And we don't have any of those problems. We also have one of the lowest violent crime rates in the country, while having an extremely high gun ownership rate.

How very odd.

Not odd at all. Louisiana population makes up 31% of the group that commits half of the murders for instance. Idaho's second largest group is Hispanic at 13%.
