I was told something today that I'd like verified. First let me say I have a Carry permit from another state that LA recognizes but I have not taken the LA cource ( I plan to attend one soon).
Someone told me that if a store in Louisiana has a No Gun sign and you enter that store with a concealed handgun you could be charged with a felony just for being in that store with a handgun. I was under the impression that it would only be illegal if you were asked to leave and refused. I'd respect the wishes of the business owner and leave the gun in the car (or shop elsewhere) but I can see there might be an instance where the sign might be overlooked.
Can anyone tell me if what I was told is true.
