The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

In Louisiana, open carry of firearms is legal for individuals who are 18 years and older. However, it is important to note that there are certain restrictions and regulations that must be followed. These include not carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, not carrying a firearm onto school property, and not carrying a firearm in certain designated locations such as government buildings or places of worship. Option B is incorrect since open carry is not always illegal for individuals who are 18 and older in Louisiana. Option C is also incorrect as a permit is not required for open carry in Louisiana. Option D is incorrect as open carry is not limited to just hunting season, but can be done year round as long as all regulations are followed.
