Download an application from the Louisiana State Police (http://www.lsp.org/handguns.html) website. You can follow the exact process here (http://www.lsp.org/handguns.html#apply).


where to go to get the required training

Here's a list (http://www.lsp.org/handguns.html#Instructors) of the licensed trainers in the state, but you'd have an easier time just doing the class at Shooter's Club (http://www.shootersclub.com/). It's given every Saturday, but call on Wednesday/Thursday just to make sure that there's room available for you. Shooter's is located on David Drive just north of Airline Highway. The sign reads "Jefferson Gun Outlet" or something similar.


costs

Ages 21 - 64
$50 for a two-year permit.
$100 for a four-year permit.

65 Years of Age or Older
$25 for a two-year permit.
$50 for a four-year permit.

Training classes tend to run ~$100, regardless.


hard to get

No, assuming you've got a clear background with no history of mental illness, criminal activity, or medical issues.


time it takes

Application will probably take you a couple of hours to fill out. It asks for old addresses, etc.

The training class is about 8 hours, mostly classroom, with qualifying time on the range.

The wait after submitting the application + training certificate is something like a month.


i am in the Kenner area

Excellent. I'm in NOLA, but always good to hear of another good guy carrying. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear it. Lakeview could use some new residents. Good folks out there, but they need more bodies to help bring the area back.
