Tina,

Click on the Maps graphic in the upper left hand corner of this site & then click on Open Carry, then click on Louisiana. That should get you started.

Tina, my advise as someone who has open carried in New Orleans and actually shot at and captured an armed thug while open carrying and had to deal with the police as a result, would be to get your concealed permit before you start open carrying and have your permit on you while open carrying.

Then get a Fishing License and have it with you anytime you ride a bike.

The best place for her to start like someone else said http://louisianacarry.org/laws/index.htm

He has put alot of work on that site and it will get you started in the right direction.

Someone said something about a Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit, that has nothing to do with her OC'ing.
