Your Ohio License to Carry a Concealed Handgun is now recognized in the State of Louisiana, and vice versa, thanks to an agreement signed between the two states. Ohioans who obtain a license to carry now have reciprocity with twenty one states, in addition to some states that simply recognize your right to carry.
The agreement is effective immediately. Residents of either state should remember that the law which prevails in the State that you are in is the law that you must follow when armed or in the unlikely event that you must use deadly force. You must know the law and you must obey the law of the jurisdiction that you're in.
Yesterday, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced an agreement with Louisiana State Police Colonel Mike Edmonson allowing Right-to-Carry reciprocity between their two states.
Ohio will now recognize valid Right-to-Carry permits from Louisiana and in turn, Louisiana will recognize valid permits from Ohio.
Permit holders must comply with the laws that apply in whichever state they are traveling.
Ohio now has Right-to-Carry reciprocity with twenty-one other states.
The NRA would like to thank Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Governor Bobby Jindal and Louisiana State Police Colonel Mike Edmonson for assisting us with this effort.
I'm pleasantly surprised. DeWine has been a Country Club Establishment RINO that opposed concealed carry as Lt Governor and spoke against it as a Senator. I voted for his opponent in the general because he had been much more positive on this issue than anyone at the state level with an (R) after their name to date. I wouldn't have expected him to take any active role in expanding CCW utility. Glad to be wrong.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".
Too bad this doesn't also carry into the Utah CCW permits.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
