Just saw this a few minutes ago. The article is convoluted IMO, and it took me a while to get to the meat of it:

Johnson upheld the constitutionality of the juvenile handgun ban — R.S. 14.95.8 — but ruled that four of the seven exceptions to the law fell short of a legal standard known as the “less restrictive means” test. Under that standard, laws restricting fundamental personal liberties must use the least restrictive means available.

Johnson approved exceptions in the law allowing juveniles to carry handguns when attending a hunter’s safety or firearms safety course; while practicing or target shooting at an established range; and while hunting or trapping with a valid license.The exceptions Johnson ruled “should be severed” from state law allowed youth to carry handguns while traveling to or from a hunting outing, firearms safety or hunting safety course or a shooting range; while on real property with the permission of a parent or legal guardian and the property owner; while at home with the permission of a parent; and while possessing a handgun with written permission from a parent.

Apparently you should not be allowed to give your children permission to carry guns inside your own home...
