Hello all,
First, Thanks to this site and the inputs of others I have been able to answer a great deal of questions about lawful carry in the states I frequent.
Now to my question,
I have family in Louisiana and will be coming for a visit soon and need some help understanding a few things. I did a search and did not come up with sufficient results.
Mainly I will be in the Lake Charles/Moss Bluff area but will travel out to Sulfer and possibly Lafayette and down to Eunice depending on family. While I am there I plan to conduct my first OC and would like to clarify some language I see in the Lake Charles Ordinances.

Illegal carrying of weapon in business establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold is:
(1)The intentional possession of any firearm or other instrumentality, customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person, in an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold;
(2)The possession, custody or use of a switchblade knife, spring knife, or other knife, or similar instrument having a blade which may be automatically unfolded or extended from a handle by the manipulation of a button, switch, latch or similar contrivance, or any knife with a blade in excess of four inches, in an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold.
Does this then prohibit the ability to OC in establishments such as the gas station, wal-mart, or malls? Or as in the majority of Louisiana, simply prohibits where alcohol is consumed such as the casinos, restaurants, and bars?
thanks in advance for you replies!
