House Bill No. by Representative Carlson seeks to amend Louisiana law regarding the liability of individuals authorized to carry concealed handguns. The bill specifically adds armed security officers to the category of "authorized persons" who are subject to a limitation of liability under certain circumstances. This inclusion is defined in the newly enacted R.S. 9:2793.12(A)(3), which stipulates that armed security officers must have completed specific training and possess an armed registration card issued by the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners.

The proposed law retains the existing provisions of R.S. 9:2793.12, which provides a limitation of liability for damages resulting from the justified use of force or self-defense through the discharge of a firearm by authorized persons. By adding armed security officers to this category, the bill aims to clarify their legal standing and protections when acting in the course of their duties.
