Although Landry served in the National Guard during the Gulf War era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served in the war zone during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of the Gulf War was removed from the article for now until a reliable ref is found. Semper Fi!

Landry signed legislation abolishing Louisiana's permit requirement for the concealed carrying of firearms. The straightforward, accurate way to describe this is "legislation allowing the carrying of concealed weapons without a permit." I have reverted an edit that describes this as "constitutional carry" legislation. This is a slanted phrase used by supporters of such legislation (i.e., the gun-rights movement). Its use implies that permit requirements are unconstitutional (which is a contested claim). The best sources avoid it. See, e.g.:

• Bill allowing permitless concealed carry in Louisiana heads to the governor’s desk for signature (Associated Press) - the article describes the legislation repeatedly as "permitless concealed carry" and notes that "Supporters of the legislation" use the "constitutional carry bill" phrase
• Bill to let people carry concealed guns without permits dies in Louisiana Legislature - describes legislation as "permitless carry laws" and notes that "constitutional carry" phrasing is used by supporters of the legislation.

The second source is not about the law mentioned in this article. It should be noted that several other reliable sources refer to the passed legislation as a constitutional carry law:

• State lawmakers send constitutional carry bill to the governor
• Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signs constitutional carry

"Constitutional carry" itself does not appear to be a "slanted phrase" as it states on the Constitutional carry page:

"The phrase 'constitutional carry' reflects the fact that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not allow restrictions on gun rights, including the right to carry or bear arms."

Given that different sources refer to the law in different ways (constitutional carry, permitless carry, concealed carry) when linking the relevant page it would make sense to link the article using its official name (It should also be noted with that page there seems to have been a clear consensus that "Constitutional carry" is an appropriate title for the article).

It's not an "official name"; its what supporters have dubbed the bill. The local TV stations seems like a notch lower in quality than the Associated Press, too. We should simply describe what the bill does, not use a phrase that intrinsically expresses a contested opinion about constitutional law. Neutrality ^talk 17:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

It is the official name of the article. The local press publications linked above are still reliable sources and their use of the phrase must be considered. We should link the constitutional carry article using the article's official name. As stated in the previous entry, using "constitutional carry" is not an example of a slanted or biased phrase.
