Louisiana voters to decide on gun rights amendment

Louisiana’s constitution flatly says the right to bear arms shall not be abridged. But it also contains a clause that allows legislators to pass laws that bar people from carrying concealed weapons.

Voters will be asked whether they want to tinker with that language on Nov. 6. The second item on a list of proposed constitutional amendments would strike the exception and add language designed to strengthen already strong gun possession rights in the state.
