Louisiana is an open carry state. There was nothing wrong with having a
gun in his pocket.

Think through that comment again. Open carry means in plain view and
cannot be concealed in a pocket, under a shirt, etc. Concealed carry
with a permit cannot be exposed to plain view. That would considered
brandishing a firearm.

You can check the law in LA, but in Nevada it is as I mentioned above.
Nevada is open carry, no registration, no more "blue card" permit for
each handgun. Cheaper to just open carry without all the bull shizzle
red tape for a concealed permit.
