Who is eligible to apply for a concealed handgun permit in Louisiana?

  1. Anyone who owns a firearm

  2. Louisiana residents only

  3. U.S. citizens who are Louisiana residents with no felony convictions

  4. All U.S. citizens regardless of residency

The correct answer is: U.S. citizens who are Louisiana residents with no felony convictions

In Louisiana, individuals who are U.S. citizens and residents of Louisiana are eligible to apply for a concealed handgun permit as long as they do not have any felony convictions. This requirement ensures that only law-abiding citizens who meet specific criteria can apply for a concealed handgun permit in the state. It is important to note that not just any U.S. citizen, regardless of residency, can apply, as indicated in option D. Additionally, option A is incorrect because mere firearm ownership does not automatically qualify someone for a concealed handgun permit in Louisiana. The correct answer, option C, emphasizes the specific eligibility criteria that U.S. citizens who are residents of Louisiana need to meet to apply for a concealed handgun permit in the state.
