Planning on going today, does anyone know if concealed carry is prohibitted? I'm not sure if it's considered state facilities or not.
Thanks

What difference would it make if it was owned by the State?

Prohibited Locations
R.S. 40:1379.3 (N) states that no concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following:

•A law enforcement office, station, or building;

•A detention facility, prison, or jail;

•A courthouse or courtroom, provided that a judge may carry such a weapon in his own courtroom;

•A polling place;

•A meeting place of the governing authority of a political subdivision;

•The state capitol building;

•Any portion of an airport facility where the carrying of firearms is prohibited under federal law, except that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, if the firearm is encased for shipment, for the purpose of checking such firearm as lawful baggage;

•Any church, synagogue, mosque or similar place of worship;

•A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity;

•Any portion of the permitted area of an establishment that has been granted a Class A-General retail 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, to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.

•Any school "firearm free zone" as defined in R.S. 14:95.6.

The provisions of R.S. 40:1379.3 (N) shall not limit the right of a property owner, lessee, or other lawful custodian to prohibit or restrict access of those persons possessing a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued under this Section. No individual to whom a concealed handgun permit is issued may carry such concealed handgun into the private residence of another without first receiving the consent of that person.


A Federal building has nothing to do with it unless it's falls under one of the places above.
