And what are the timelines for these steps?Not yet. Still has to go to full house vote, possibly a conference committee and then to the Governors desk for signature. After Landry signs it, it will be law effective in July

There's more than enough votes to pass it in the house, and Landry has said he will sign it. Extraordinary session ends March 6, so that's the last date for the fat lady to sing.Not yet.

You can't carry in a bar. You can however, carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol but you can't go in the bar area.The person carrying their weapon should acquaint themselves with where they can legally carry. For instance, ABO are places you cannot carry. At one time, a business that generates the majority of it's income from alcohol sales was considered an ABO. Now, if a business serves alcohol to be consumed on the premises, it is an ABO. So, Middendorf's, etc (insert your favorite restaurant here), that serves alcohol is an ABO, so carrying concealed on those premises is illegal (unless something has changed)
Subsection N. of the law reads:The person carrying their weapon should acquaint themselves with where they can legally carry. For instance, ABO are places you cannot carry.

That's actually not accurate. See my post above. It entirely depends on the type of permit they have.You can't carry in a bar. You can however, carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol but you can't go in the bar area.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it's hard to parse through the bad, outdated, or misinformation that is out there. A lot of CHL instructors mean well, but tell people things that are just not true.Sounds good AustinBR. Thanks for posting that. As I stated, I hope everyone checks out the legalities. One might even consider joining an organization that provides legal services in the event of being in a "situation" where they have to protect themselves or a loved one. I have one that even provides bail, if necessary in addition to legal representation. If the worst happens and you have to take action and "go loud", your legal coverage could cost a fortune even if you are 100% right and lawful in your actions.
CCW Safe. It is the Military/Law Enforcement Policy. And I also have the FOP coverage.Agreed. Unfortunately, it's hard to parse through the bad, outdated, or misinformation that is out there. A lot of CHL instructors mean well, but tell people things that are just not true.
What carry insurance do you have?
I agree with you on everything else, but I do believe there will be more folks carrying concealed. Those you mentioned are likely part timers and only carry under the circumstances you listed. I imagine there are plenty of good law abiding citizens who would carry concealed daily if they didn’t need a permit to freely do so. I wonder if any of the other states have the numbers figured out yet?I find that most reasonable people that want a gun for personal protection generally try and learn something about ownership and responsibility of ownership. I've seen many of those folks realize they are better off without ownership of a firearm for a plethora of personal reasons. So, this law in my mind really won't change very much in the way law abiding people carry firearms, I really don't think any more people will carry after the law has passed than do now.
Many people I know have had the course and decided not to get the permit, they really don't want to carry a firearm, they really just don't want to be a criminal when they work late and have to lock the office and maybe the gate at the parking lot, or they breakdown on the way home, or they decide to stay home during a hurricane and want to protect their property. I think for the vast majority, this really won't change the number of people carrying firearms concealed.
The young thug will carry now more than they once did, but they'll thin themselves out over time.
That will certainly be the case. I imagine it's difficult to get accurate statistics on it, though.I agree with you on everything else, but I do believe there will be more folks carrying concealed. Those you mentioned are likely part timers and only carry under the circumstances you listed. I imagine there are plenty of good law abiding citizens who would carry concealed daily if they didn’t need a permit to freely do so.

**Class A - General License. **This is the place to check before carrying there. If it has a class A license leave your piece behind.LAATCABC (1) - Search for issued Licenses

Thanks for clarifying that.
"To grant immunity from liability for persons authorized to carry concealed handguns." ?
What exactly does this mean?
This is what it should mean... You cannot have some liberal goober snowflake sue you for having to protect yourself or another innocent person no matter what necessary force is applied to do so..."To grant immunity from liability for persons authorized to carry concealed handguns."
