Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Louisiana?

Convicted felons
Individuals under 21
Non-residents
Anyone with a traffic ticket

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

Individuals who have been convicted of a felony in any state, including Louisiana, are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This is because felons are considered to be a danger to society and allowing them to possess a firearm could result in further criminal activity. Option B, individuals under 21, may be incorrect because depending on their circumstances (such as being a minor in possession of a firearm for hunting or sporting purposes), they may be allowed to possess a firearm. Option C, non-residents, may also be incorrect because there may be certain circumstances in which non-residents are allowed to possess a firearm in Louisiana, such as if they are visiting for hunting or sporting purposes. Option D, anyone with a traffic ticket, is also incorrect. Having a traffic ticket does not automatically disqualify someone from possessing a firearm in Louisiana. It would depend on the severity of the offense and if it is a felony or not.
