BATON ROUGE - On July 4, Louisiana will become the 29th state to allow residents to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. 

The new regulations, which were proposed by Sen. Blake Miguez, R-New Iberia, during the second special session, let anyone over the age of 18 carry a gun without a permit unless they are not allowed to have any weapons due to previous felonies. 

Stipulations on the new regulation include: 
- No concealed handgun can be brought into a place where firearms are banned by state or federal law.
- No individual can bring a concealed firearm into a private residence without permission.
