Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has vetoed Constitutional Carry legislation.

Senate Bill 118 would have removed the need for law abiding Louisianans to obtain a permit from the government to carry a concealed firearm.

The National Rifle Association said Edwards “decided to listen to the anti-gun minority in the Sportsman’s Paradise, and veto Senate Bill 118.  Despite the thousands of emails, calls, and texts coming from NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters.”

Edwards released a statement about his veto:

The NRA and other pro-gun groups are telling their members in Louisiana to contact their elected representatives in the hopes there are enough votes to override the governor’s veto.
