In Louisiana there's no state-mandated waiting period when it comes to buying a handgun, aside from the roughly 20 minutes it takes to do a background check. Many states require checks spanning days before you can walk out with a gun. Should there be a required waiting period to buy a handgun in Louisiana? You decide.
