Louisiana will not honor Florida's non-resident lic after Aug. 2011

Louisiana will not honor Florida's non-resident CCW lic after Aug. 2011, is this true? I sure hope not.

As far as I know they reversed their stance on this.

Louisiana no longer recognizes FL non-resident permits

I phoned the concealed handgun division when I was waiting for my permit and they said it will be valid until Aug. 15, 2011. They originally released a notice stating the permits weren't valid effective immediately, but it got shot down right away, they needed to give folks reasonable time to obtain a new valid permit.

I phoned the concealed handgun division when I was waiting for my permit and they said it's good until Aug. 15, 2011.

When was it that you made the phone call?

[uscg4good]

December 2010....I'll get on the hook with them right now. Standby.

[uscg4good]

Ok just got off the phone.
I spoke to a woman with a 'tude.

She said after Aug. 15, 2011 your FL Non-Res permit will be invalid for use in LA.

I asked her if I can see that in writing anywhere and she referred me to their website, and the LA Legislature.

as I recalll...this was something created by LA State police....and I never saw anything based in statute for it.

How do you not accept non-res permits from 1 state only?

[BowflexLA]

I figured it was because all the money was going to FL pemits and not LA. LA application requires a lot more information, ie, if divorced you must show documentaion and stuff. Thanks for the info guys! I agree, how do you not accept non-res permits from 1state only?

That's not it...because LA law already requires LA residents to carry on LA license while in LA.

LRS 40:1379.3 T.(4)

T.(1) Possession of a current and valid concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute sufficient evidence of the background check required pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922(t).

(2) A current and valid concealed handgun permit issued by another state to an individual having attained the age of twenty-one years shall be deemed to be valid for the out-of-state permit holder to carry a concealed weapon within this state if a current and valid concealed handgun permit issued by Louisiana is valid in those states.

(3) An out-of-state permit holder carrying a concealed handgun pursuant to this Paragraph is bound by the laws of this state regarding carrying a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued in accordance with this Section.

(4) A concealed handgun permit issued by another state is invalid in the state of Louisiana for the purpose of authorizing a Louisiana resident to carry a concealed handgun in the state of Louisiana.

I believe what you are referring to will take affect in Aug 2011. LA doesn't require a LA permit and a FL permit. I have just the FL non-resident permit and I'm legal in LA untill Aug. I just hate all the extra paper work but that is a small price to pay to be legal.
