    Devils advocate here: If you are concealing it well, you don't really have to worry about this discussion.

    I'm speaking more in terms of general locations like bars , parades , etc. As compared to concealed carry .

    Here's one
    §95.5. Possession of firearm on premises of alcoholic beverage outlet

    A. No person shall intentionally possess a firearm while on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet.

    B. "Alcoholic beverage outlet" as used herein means any commercial establishment in which alcoholic beverages of either high or low alcoholic content are sold in individual servings for consumption on the premises, whether or not such sales are a primary or incidental purpose of the business of the establishment.

    C.(1) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to the owner or lessee of an alcoholic beverage outlet, an employee of such owner or lessee, or to a law enforcement officer or other person vested with law enforcement authority or listed in R.S. 14:95(G) or (H).

    (2) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to a person possessing a firearm in accordance with a concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to R.S. 40:1379.1 or 1379.3 on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet which has been issued a Class A-Restaurant permit, as defined in Part II of Chapter 1 or Part II of Chapter 2 of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.

    (3) The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to limit the ability of a sheriff or chief law enforcement officer to establish policies within his department or office regarding the carrying of a concealed handgun on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet by any law enforcement officer under his authority.

    D. Whoever violates the provisions of this Section shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.

    Acts 1985, No. 765, §1; Acts 2014, No. 147, §1.

    With a valid CHP you could be within the 1000' gun free school zone and Open Carry would be illegal inside that 1000'

    You can while you open carry as well. You just need to be:

    A) in a vehicle
    B) on private property

    Either way, Open Carry is as cool as herpes.

    All BREC facilities: Part of the EBR Parish ordinances. Pretty sure all state offices as well. Several have metal detectors at the entrances to the buildings, at least in downtown Baton Rouge.

    Actually not just "firearms":
    Sec. 13:1011. - Possession of firearms at BREC parks.
    (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession a firearm, pellet gun, BB gun or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon on property comprising parks, playgrounds, recreational areas or facilities owned or operated by the recreation and parks commission.
    (b) Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), imprisoned in the jail for not more than six (6) months, or both.
    (City Code 1951, Title 13, § 107; Parish Code 1962, Title 13, § 417)



    Seems contrary to "strict scrutiny" under the LA 2nd Amendment.

    [FONT=&quot]LA RS 14:95.2.1
    §95.2.1. Illegal carrying of a firearm at a parade with any firearm used in the commission of a crime of violence[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]A. Whoever commits the crime of illegal carrying of weapons pursuant to R.S. 14:95 with any firearm used in the commission of a crime of violence as defined in R.S. 14:2(B), within one thousand feet of any parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity, shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars, or imprisoned, with or without hard labor, for not less than one year nor more than five years, or both. Any sentence issued pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection and any sentence issued pursuant to a violation of a crime of violence as defined in R.S. 14:2(B) shall be served consecutively.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]B. As used in this Section, the following words mean:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot](1) "Firearm" means any pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, submachine gun, or assault rifle, which is designed to fire or is capable of firing fixed cartridge ammunition or from which a shot or projectile is discharged by an explosive.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot](2) "Parade" for the purposes of this Section shall be defined as any celebration of Mardi Gras or directly related pre-Lenten or carnival related festivities, school parades, parish parades, state parades or municipal parades, or any demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity. [emphasis is mine][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot](3) "Parade route" means any public sidewalk, street, highway, bridge, alley, road, or other public passageway upon which a parade travels.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]C. Lack of knowledge that the prohibited act occurred on or within one thousand feet of the parade route shall not be a defense.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Acts 2004, No. 661, §1.

    Notice the public demonstration part. I believe, but I can't find specific legislation, that you can't carry in federal buildings either. Also, my understanding is that businesses can disallow carry on their premises even though it is not technically illegal. Although, if you refuse to leave, you can be charged with trespassing. Anyone know about the legality of open carry on a motorcycle/bicycle? I ride, but it would seem that since the gun is not completely enclosed within the vehicle, the laws might be subject to some interpretation in this regard. [/FONT]

    The law you cited only prohibits carrying a firearm in commission of a felony. The relevant law for CHP applies to those "in" the permitted activity, as opposed to those "at" it. It was written this way because of an incident in New Orleans when a high school band chaperone discharged a weapon into the street and injured several people with the fragments.

    This is a subject of much debate in legal circles and there is no definitive ruling yet.

    The federal building law is part of the US Code. You'll see it cited in posters inside various federal facilities.

    Yep. That's one of the grey area's of carrying concealed in Louisiana. Fortunately for me, I don't attend parades in the more urban cities.

    If memory serves me correct, on a motorcycle is considered "in a vehicle". A bicycle, not sure as it's not actually a vehicle by law. At least not a petal bike.
