Felonies vs Misdemeanors in Louisiana

Louisiana divides offenses into felonies (more serious) and misdemeanors (less serious). Louisiana uses civil-law terminology — 'felonies' vs 'misdemeanors' don't have classes; each statute specifies its own range.

Louisiana concealed carry: Permitless (since July 2024); permits still available. Open carry: Legal. Red flag (ERPO) law: No state red-flag law.
