From what we've learned, eighteen other states have already passed this "Constitutional Carry" law and according to Morris, Louisiana needs to be number nineteen. He says, “We have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms as everyone knows, and the world is, unfortunately, getting more and more dangerous.” Should the law pass, the "Constitutional Carry" right would not apply to convicted felons and any person deemed legally intoxicated, and though similar to the bill filed by Oil City Representative, Danny McCormick, this one would only apply to citizens 21 and older. McCormick's bill set the minimum age at 18.
