The correct answer is: Only with a special permit

In Louisiana, it is legal to possess a machine gun with a special permit. Machine guns are classified as Title II weapons under the National Firearms Act (NFA). To own a machine gun legally, one must go through the process of obtaining approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) by applying for a special permit known as a Class 3 permit. This permit requires a thorough background check and compliance with all federal regulations regarding the possession of machine guns. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Only with a special permit.
