Under Louisiana law, which action with a firearm is considered a felony?

  1. Transporting a firearm in your car's trunk

  2. Possessing a firearm in a government building

  3. Firing a firearm in a residential area for self-defense

  4. Carrying a concealed firearm with a valid permit

The correct answer is: Possessing a firearm in a government building

Possessing a firearm in a government building is considered a felony under Louisiana law. This is because government buildings are generally designated as "gun-free zones" for public safety and security reasons. Carrying or possessing a firearm in such a location is a serious offense and is prohibited to prevent potential harm or threats to individuals within the government building. Therefore, this action is clearly specified as a felony in Louisiana gun laws. The other options are incorrect: - Transporting a firearm in your car's trunk is typically legal as long as it is done in accordance with Louisiana state law regarding the transportation of firearms. - Firing a firearm in a residential area for self-defense would generally be evaluated based on the circumstances of the situation and Louisiana's self-defense laws. - Carrying a concealed firearm with a valid permit is usually allowed in Louisiana as long as the individual has obtained the necessary permit and follows the state's regulations regarding concealed carry.
