I talked to former Sheriff William Earl today. He is the former sheriff of rapides parish and I had a chance to ask him about open carry. He said that, in his opinion, it is ok in the home/car/workplace but if everyone on the street decided to open carry without a permit we would be back in the wild west. I kind of agree with him, and kind of disagree. I feel it might not be needed to open carry 100% of the time all the time, but when in a risky situation, open carry is a great option. He said, "You can legally do it, but I doubt many deputies will let you get away with it."
