Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 97%

Independently re-verified all three cited sources; all are real, live, and directly support the outcome. The primary Louisiana Legislature bill record for SB1 of the 2024 Second Extraordinary Session confirms the measure 'Provides relative to the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns lawfully without a permit,' that it was signed by the Governor on March 5, 2024, that it became Act No. 1, and that it took effect July 4, 2024. KEDM (NPR affiliate) reports Landry's own signing statement; KSLA independently reports 'Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry officially has signed Senate Bill 1, allowing any law-abiding citizen age 18 or older to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.' The promise text is a signing promise ('Sign legislation allowing Louisianans to carry a concealed firearm without a government permit'), and the enacted law is exactly that — permitless concealed carry for law-abiding adults 18+. Nothing in the record shows the promise was diluted, vetoed, delayed, or narrowed relative to what was pledged, so FULL (not CHAMPIONED or PARTIAL) is correct. Nonpartisan cross-check: an officeholder of either party who pledged to sign a specific bill and then signed that identical bill into law within two months, with it taking effect as written, would receive FULL under the same standard. No downgrade or upgrade is warranted. Confidence held at 0.97 rather than higher only because the rating rests on the signing event itself and this verification could not re-confirm the statute's continued status via additional searches (web-search budget exhausted); that does not affect the outcome, since the promise was to sign the legislation and the primary source confirms the signature and Act number.
