Don't quote me on this but from my understanding this new amendment does nothing to effect the laws on concealed to carry. It changes the constitutional test placed on future gun laws, instead of a rational basis test all future laws will be subject to strict scrutiny. Strict scrutiny is the highest level in constitutional law so for the state to pass anything restricting gun rights in the future they would have to prove that their is a problem that needs fixing, and the law they are passing is aimed to fix that problem and that the law is the only possible way to fix the issue and that the issue is of such importance it grants the state the right to infringe on our constitutional rights. So essentially the amendment makes it so the state can never pass a law restricting our gun rights. Objectors of the bill have stated concerns that people will now challenge the laws already in affect such as the concealed to carry some even saying that it will make armed robberies crimes subject to being considered unconstitutional, from what ive heard and my understanding it will not change anything we currently have it will just stop things from ever getting stricter. And possibly change the age of acquiring a concealed carry permit to 18 or 20 only because i can see the argument they are adults under the Louisiana constitution and to deny blah blah they have the right. I'm a law student so im not pretending to know everything but from what ive learned from constitutional law and from what the professors have been spitting out thats about the gist
-long story short i wouldnt test it
