East Baton Rouge Sherriffs

Vehicle carry and transportation: Louisiana has no law covering firearms inside motor vehicles. In Louisiana your vehicle is considered an extension of your home so the castle doctrine also applies while inside your motor vehicle. Since there is no law, anyone who can legally possess a firearm can carry a loaded firearm inside a vehicle. It can be in the glove box, console, under the seat, or anywhere else in the vehicle.

as long as it's not in plain sight, it's not a threat to the officer during a routine stop.
