State Supreme Court strengthening gun rights

If I remember sometime last year the state made it, atleast in Nola (correct me if I'm wrong) that there is a "fundamental" right to carry which shouldn't include felons no longer on probation or parole?
Can someone explain this to me? Will it be over turned, is it trumped by the federal laws.
Honestly I'm looking to get me a pistol again since I've paid my dues.

Fail post is full of fail.
Don't buy a gun, esp in NOLA.

3 time loser.... All possession of different schedules
Vette, I understand it is a fail post, what in it is a fail. I don't know much about this... I just want my right to carry and possibly vote again ... I've paid my dues over the last decade
Also why not in Nola? If I lives in the middle of the sticks I probably wouldn't feel I need one... I just catch myself having no fear and have been in hairy situations and would have been nice to have a pistol in my truck. I don't see the issue

OK, assuming your not trolling...
re-read what you posted:
Think about that for a minute.
In NOLA, cops routinely stop people and confiscate weapons whether they are legally possessed or not.
What do you think they would do when they run you, see the record and then see the weapon?

Not meaning I'm careless.... Sorry I wrote that wrong.... Meaning I go on areas that some would consider dangerous I guess.... Not meaning I go out and get all drunk and stupid..... Actually don't even really drink anymore at all.... I've grown up I would say and would like to actually carry a pistol legally.
So the cops would take my shite even if I'm legally carrying??

Most would, some wouldn't.
They did it during Katrina and a lot of 'em still do. They don't GAS about any old Constitution.

That's pretty fricking shitty
What if I get with the Sherrif or whatever and get something in writing I would keep with my pistol or whatever.
I'm seriously not trolling.

ehh...
I wouldn't.
The only way to do it legally is to get the permit. even then that's weak in NOLA.

State law 14:95.1 says certain felons cannot possess a firearm. There's a ten year "cleansing" period after which firearm rights are restored. I'm not speaking of federal law.
Recently voters passed a state constitutional amendment that strengthened the right to bear arms. Defense lawyers quickly filed motions in 95.1 cases. The Draughter case went to La Supreme Court where the court ruled the statute remained constitutional. However, if I recall the defendant in Draughter was still on parole and thus still under DOC supervision. I don't believe the Court has ruled on felons not on parole.
I personally don't think the Court will strike 95.1, and at most the statutes language will be tightened up. I still file motions challenging 95.1 in my cases although I've not had occasion to really argue it, and most judges are not impressed.
tl;dr-- if you're a felon be very careful about getting a gun. Consult a lawyer.
