Under Louisiana law, which of these individuals is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

  1. A person convicted of a felony

  2. A person who has not completed a firearms safety course

  3. A non-U.S. citizen

  4. A person under the age of 21

The correct answer is: A person convicted of a felony

In Louisiana, an individual prohibited from possessing a firearm is one who has been convicted of a felony. This restriction aims to prevent individuals with serious criminal histories from possessing firearms and potentially posing a threat to public safety. The other options are not accurate because: - Completion of a firearms safety course is not a legal requirement for firearm possession in Louisiana, so a person who has not completed such a course is not automatically prohibited from possessing a firearm. - Non-U.S. citizens may be allowed to possess firearms in Louisiana under certain conditions, so being a non-U.S. citizen does not necessarily mean a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm. - In Louisiana, individuals aged 18-20 can legally possess a firearm as long as they are not otherwise prohibited from doing so. Therefore, simply being under the age of 21 does not automatically prohibit someone from possessing a firearm.
