carry at business question

[dwsonar]

A question
In Louisiana, is it legal to carry at a place of business? I mean as an employee. I'm not talking about the business rules, but the state laws.
I may be working at a fireworks stand as night security, and am wondering if and how I can legally carry. I don't have my concealled permit yet.
As I read the laws, home, business, and car are legal. I don't find anything about open or concealled though.
Thanks, Dave

But, no tracers, please...

Good answer but it'd be best to contack your local So or Pd and get their take on it. I'm betting it'll not be prohibited!

Better also check with your employer. A lot of businesses would prohibit an employee from carrying without first having it run through their insurance company. Unfortunately there is a great big liability issue they may not want to bite off.

It's also a chance if anything goes wrong you would be left hanging out to dry by your employer without "getting it in writing".
