It depends on the locality and what exactly the charge is. In many localities, the circumstances can dictate how the person is charged.

Repossession law to carry a firearm?

Florida is not a traditional open carry state, so there is no provision permitting you to carry a firearm openly. If you have a concealed carry permit, you may carry a concealed firearm. However, you need the services of a lawyer to work out the finer points of this. In a number of states, if you are carrying a gun to a repossession on private property, you're obligated to inform them that you're carrying, and they have the right to restrict you from carrying a firearm on their property.

Can you carry a concealed weapon in your car if you have a state issued license to do so?

A CHL pertains to a person carrying the weapon and/or have the weapon is his possession or under his control. While this does not specifically include his or her vehicle, the argument is whether or not he is currently in control of said firearm. If you are driving the vehicle and responsible for the contents, a concealed firearm in the glove compartment would be covered by your license because, although it is not on your person, it would still be considered in your possession. This does not, however, necessarily cover all instances though. The license only covers a firearm that you could reasonably claim to be "in your possession". (This is not true in all states. In some states, the firearm must be physically in your possession and in others, only in arms reach. Even the definition of "arm's reach" varies state to state. In Texas, for example, "arm's reach" includes the back seat, whereas other states specifically don't. This is also affected by passengers in the vehicle.)


Is handguns legal or not in Louisiana?

You did not specify in your question if you meant OPEN carry or CONCEALED carry. Each one is handled differently in the state of LA. In ALL cases however, USE of said firearm is not universally allowed. After a case of public discharge of a firearm, law enforcement and/or the court system will determine if said firearm discharge was justified. This is the case whether you have a concealed carry permit or not. I will briefly handle both here. OPEN Carry: LA in almost all cases allows open carry of firearms, even in a vehicle. The specific restrictions of this as of this writing (04/03/2010) is as follows: Public buildings -- including any local government building, court house, K-12 school buildings, etc. Certain Commercial Establishments -- These establishments, as of 2009, are required to post conspicuous signs at all entrances stating their policies restricting firearm carrying. College Campuses -- Universally restricted by state statute. CONCEALED Carry: As with most states, concealed carry requires a permit. LA does has reciprocity agreements with many other states. This is to say that if you have a concealed carry permit valid in another state, it may be valid in LA. Again, as of this writing (04/03/2010), the following states' permits are NOT valid in LA: CA, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, OH, OR, RI, WI. Again, these permits do not allow for the discharge of your firearm. Simply for the concealed carry of said firearm. Also, whether you have a LA concealed carry permit or a permit valid via reciprocity, the weapon must be on your person. You cannot carry the weapon concealed in your glove-box or under the seat, etc.
