Attorney General Opinion No. 78 - 795--The AG replies to two questions: "1 . Is it legal to carry an exposed handgun?" and "2 . Do Parishes and / or Municipalities have the power to regulate the carrying of exposed handguns?" The AG responds, "the carrying of an exposed handgun is not illegal, except as provided in LSA R.S. 14: 95.1 ." And citing City of Shreveport V. Curry and City of Shreveport V. Bukhett, 357 S. 2d 1078, (LA . 1978), the AG states: "It is the opinion of this office that the state statutes aforementioned have the purpose of establishing a general scheme to control weapons (handguns) and that a fair reading of those statutes show this would constitute an area in which the state has pre-empted (sic) the legislative control and has implicitly authorized the carrying of unconcealed weapons . Therefore, an ordinance enacted by a Parish and / or Municipality requlating (sic) the carrying of exposed handguns would be without effect as being in conflict with State Law ." </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Maine </Th> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Maryland </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> In practice </Td> <Td> Licenses are rarely issued to ordinary citizens .
