Lies

ETA: Sorry, this is for LA only. Ignore if you're not in LA. I'm on mobile and can't see people's location without clicking their name. That sucks though.

I was told in my class yesterday that if the restaurant sells alcohol, you are not allowed to carry. But he said that would be changing with the new bill.

And more lies. E-mail Gordon Hutchinson. He will tell you. I just went through his class and he explained all this. I specifically asked him about the first quote because someone told me the same thing. This is the email
I received from him

There are more stupid statements made about this program than anything I have ever been associated with. No. You can qualify with a .22 and carry a .44. The state does NOT care what you qualify with, or what you carry—as long as it is a handgun. Tell whoever told you that to check his facts and read up on the law at www.lsp.org/handguns.html. He does not have any idea from whence he speaks. I know some instructors make their students take the course with what they consider proper caliber for self-defense. This may be what they are referring to, but that is an instructor choice. I limit you only to not shooting single-action revolvers and not shooting centerfire magnum cartridges. The first is too slow to load, the second is too noisy in the range. Other than that, we let people shoot pretty much what they want. IF they have a problem with their own guns, I have plenty of loaners.
