What action is required if a Louisiana resident changes their address while possessing a concealed handgun permit?

  1. Notify the Louisiana State Police within 30 days

  2. Reapply for a new permit

  3. No action is required

  4. Notify their local police department

The correct answer is: Notify the Louisiana State Police within 30 days

If a Louisiana resident changes their address while possessing a concealed handgun permit, they are required to notify the Louisiana State Police within 30 days. This is because the Louisiana State Police maintains the database of active concealed handgun permits, and it is important that they have the most up-to-date information on the permit holder's address. Option B, reapplying for a new permit, is incorrect because the permit is still valid, and reapplying would be unnecessary and time-consuming. Additionally, option C is incorrect because a change of address should be reported. Option D, notifying their local police department, is also incorrect because the Louisiana State Police is the authority responsible for maintaining the concealed handgun permit database.
