Is a permit required to purchase a shotgun in Louisiana?

Yes
No
Only for residents
Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Louisiana, a permit is not required to purchase a shotgun. This is because shotguns are not classified as firearms under Louisiana law, so individuals are not required to obtain a permit to purchase one. It is important to note that while a permit is not needed to purchase a shotgun, individuals must still adhere to other state and federal regulations regarding the ownership and use of firearms. Option A is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, a permit is not required to purchase a shotgun in Louisiana. Options C and D are not accurate either, as residency status does not determine whether a permit is needed to purchase a shotgun in Louisiana.
