This is the point exactly. Liberals will use this bufoonery to then justify other limitations on gun rights.

with or without a gun

They won't ban open carry. But I could see some changes in public places. I have no problem with Leo approaching me and asking me wtf am I doing on a street corner with an ar strapped to my back. I got nothing o hide so I have no problem with the questions.

I don't know all the facts but I'm pretty sure there was no open carry in any of the recent mass shootings.

have a problem with open carry in most places, but in COSTCO would seem a bit ridiculous


Until some lunatic starts shooting everyone in sight at said Costco.

The real question is, "Under the new "strict scrutiny" amendment, will the state courts toss out our CCW regulations as being unconstitutional ?



What do you mean by that?



I don't want to speak for dawg, but I believe he means the high court of LA could say based on strict scrutiny, you don't need a permit to carry a weapon in LA regardless if it's concealed or not

That statement by dawg confused me because I thought it was the individual states who decided the cc laws. I like your take on it.

What about plain clothed officers or detectives. Would they be allowed to open carry because I have seen people in grocery stores open carrying and sometimes they are police officers not in uniform. They have no identification on them indicating they are law enforcement.

a. Louisiana has a constitution.

b. This constitution was amended by the public last year to require that all statutes pass the "strict scrutiny" test of constitutionality.

c. Several lower court (district) judges have already dismissed charges of illegal carrying of firearms by felons. (It's my understanding that in some of these cases the DA's are appealing the rulings.)

d. If the lower court rulings are upheld, the court system may well decide that if felons can carry concealed without a permit, why make law-abiding citizens apply for a permit.

e. Turning gun control over to La. judges (instead of leaving control with the La. legislature) may prove to be one of the dumbest things the voters have ever done in this state.
