Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Louisiana?

Convicted felons
Individuals convicted of a misdemeanor
Individuals under the age of 18
Non-residents of Louisiana

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

In Louisiana, convicted felons are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This includes individuals with a felony conviction on their record, such as murder, sexual assault, or armed robbery. Felons lose their right to possess a firearm as part of their criminal sentence. The other options are incorrect because they do not apply to all individuals in Louisiana. While individuals with misdemeanor convictions and those under the age of 18 may face certain restrictions when it comes to purchasing or owning a firearm, it is not a blanket prohibition like it is for convicted felons. Non-residents of Louisiana may also face certain restrictions, but they are not outright prohibited from possessing a firearm within the state. It is important to note that laws surrounding firearm possession may vary in different states, so it is important to always consult local and state laws when it comes to firearm ownership.
