Protecting Second Amendment Rights Through Truth, Law & Transparency

Louisiana Campus Carry & College Property Guide

Navigating firearm laws on Louisiana higher education campuses requires understanding the distinction between K-12 firearm-free zones (LA R.S. 14:95.2) and public university policies.

LA R.S. 14:95.2 Strictly Prohibited

K-12 Elementary & Secondary Schools

Firearms remain strictly banned on public and private K-12 campuses, school buses, and within statutory 1,000-foot school zones under LA R.S. 14:95.2.

LA R.S. 40:1379.3(N)(11) & Campus Rules Conditional / Policy Dependent

Public Colleges & Universities (LSU, UL, Southern, Tech)

State law permits individual university system management boards (e.g., LSU Board of Supervisors, UL System) to establish administrative weapons policies regarding campus buildings and dorms.

💡 Vehicle Lockbox Protection on Campus
Under Louisiana law, eligible adults (18+) may keep a lawful firearm locked inside a private motor vehicle parked on a public college campus lot or parking facility, provided it is out of plain view.
