LA SB211

District attorneys may petition courts to prohibit individuals from carrying concealed handguns when there is probable cause the person poses a risk of imminent injury to themselves or others, owns firearms, and those firearms are at a specified location

Courts must consider factors including past threats or violence toward others or oneself, animal cruelty, reckless firearm use, history of physical force, prior involuntary mental health admission, and illegal drug use or alcohol abuse

Persons subject to a court order lose the permitless concealed carry exemption available to those 18 and older under current Louisiana law, and must obtain a permit to carry concealed after the order terminates

The state must prove grounds by clear and convincing evidence at a hearing where the subject has the right to counsel; orders are reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)

Orders may be extended for up to one year initially and six months for subsequent extensions; subjects may petition once annually to terminate the order early by proving they no longer pose a risk
