    Question Can I bring my sidearm to New Orleans, LA & carry it?

    Taking a trip to New Orleans next month. I have a PA LTCF. Am I also able to legally concealed carry in Louisiana or no bueno?

    According to handgunlaw.us (click on the state of interest, it will open up a PDF with their rules) Louisiana does recognize your PA LTCF. No information specifically on NO. Watch for un-American intervening states when you travel (Maryland) or transport in accordance with FOPA.

    Now you just have to navigate the mine field errr... I mean the TSA. If you have done it before, fantastic. If you haven't, better start a TSA airport thread.

    There have been several recent threads on flying. I have posted therein. If I have time later I can reiterate here. Use the search function in the meantime.

    I strongly suggest you bookmark the link that Never_Enough posted. State gun laws change regularly; Pennsylvania's reciprocity is an example. Would always want to see for myself the current states that have reciprocity with my licence. Handgunlaws.us prides themselves on keeping current. The gun owner is responsible for knowing the laws. No offense to the posters who offered advice, just that some info needs to be obtained firsthand from primary sources

    Contact the airline you are using and ask them for their firearm procedure, it should be listed on their website and fairly routine.
    The TSA should also have instructions posted online.
    Personally I like to fly with my handgun in a portable lock box that fits in a backpack, but there are other ways to do it properly.
    Louisiana recognizes PA LTCF's, but make sure you check again before you travel for possible changes.
    Make sure you read their laws with regard to vehicle travel and duty to notify police etc.

    Do as everyone suggested - study the handgunlaw.us Louisiana page and the TSA/airline flying procedures.

    I've flown back and forth Philly to NOLA and it was fine.
