Laws do not allow things or actions, they prohibit things, or actions or require actions.

This is not a kingdom.

If there was a previous law prohibiting carrying of weapons in a church then they had to have repealed a prohibition on them. Get the language straight and drop the leftist speak of granting rights.

Louisiana CCW Restrictions:

www.handgunlaw.us

A law enforcement office, station, or building;
A detention facility, prison, or jail;
A courthouse or courtroom, provided that a judge may carry such a weapon in h
is own courtroom;
A polling place;
A meeting place of the governing authority of a political subdivision;
The state capitol building;
Any portion of an airport facility where the carrying of firearms is prohibited under federal law,
except that no person s
hall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, if the
firearm is encased for shipment, for the purpose of checking such firearm as lawful baggage;

Any church, synagogue, mosque or similar place of worship;
See:
R.S. 40:1379.3

A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity;
(means be in the parade or part of the demonstration)
Any portion of the permitted area of an establishment that has been granted a Class A
General retail permit, as defined in Part II of Chapter 1 or Part II of Chapter 2 of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.
Note: This means a Bar. Restaurants are OK but you can’t carry in the bar area of a restaurant.
Any school "firearm free zone" as defined in R.S. 14:95.6
The provisions of R.S. 40:1379.3 (N) shall not limit the right of a property owner, lessee, or other lawful
custodian to prohibit or restrict access of those persons possessing a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued under this Section
. No individual to whom a concealed handgun permit is issued may carry such concealed handgun into the private residence of another without first receiving the consent of that person.
Note:
State removed the state requirement of 8 hours additional training (8/1/18) and left that up to the
building owners or insurance requirements they have
Note:
14:95.2 simply states that section cannot regulate what the state deems a constitutionally protected activity.
Most are of the opinion that this does not conflict with 18 USC 922(q), and that the federal government acknowledges how a state views certain rights toward property holders. As such, having a firearm entirely within a motor vehicle while on school property does not violate the law. Also See Parking
Lot Storage Law Section concerning firearms in vehicles in these restricted locations.

Church, Synagogue and Mosque Carry
R.S. 40:1379.3 (U)
Allows carry under the following rules.
Churches, Synagogues and Mosques choosing to allow concealed carry will have to inform their
congregations of the decision.
Anyone wishing to carry a concealed weapon in a church will have to take an extra eight hours of
tactical training each year only if required by the owner of the building’s or their liability insurance
policy.
The new law does not apply to churches on school property.

So they repealed their law.

Only a portion of it, they removed the state requirement of 8 hours additional tactical training a year.
Also, a house of worship can still prohibit CCW, but they must post signage like a bar or sporting venue.

It's only a small change, but the moonbat who wrote that story makes it sound like there's going to be a bloodbath every Sunday. [rolleyes]

Usually a true statement as most of the US is based on English Common Law. Not so for Louisiana which is based on the French Civil Code of 1804. Get a lawyer to explain how bad this is. Might as well be Martian law...

There may be , but the likelihood of it being in a church just dropped. [smile]
Mass shooters don't go into places where they might be the first or at least second to get shot.
 
The very idea that legislative fiat has a say in whether or not someone carries concealed in a house of worship is a travesty. For starters, those that allow Christ into their lives are some of the most decent and responsible people to be found. Second, one only needs to look back to Texas this past December when Jack Wilson quickly neutralized a church shooter, likely savings many lives by his actions - hardly a "trigger happy gun owner eager to become a hero." Psalm 82:4 - rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. God does not need political sycophants to bear his justice.

I've often used the quote that the Lord helps those who help themselves.
