Let Freedom RIng

Breda open carries and finds out it's no big deal.

I live in an open carry state, though very few people think of Louisiana as such, yet my review of the law is Louisiana tells me that open carry is perfectly legal. It all stems from the Napoleonic Code on which many of our laws are based, wherein an honest person wears his weapons openly, and concealing a weapon is only necessary if a person has nefarious purposes. The basic law can be found at RS 14:95 and has a few exceptions, most notably carrying a firearm near a schoolhouse.

Louisiana also has a concealed carry permit, available through the State Police.

I still don't get the "Gun-Free school zone" thing.
If making it illegal to SHOOT a school kid doesn't keep the wackos from doing it, why is making it illegal to carry a gun nearby going to make them safer.
