re: Baton Rouge: 6 officers shot: 3 dead, one fighting for life

they can try that.

I
Word to the wise.
If you do not have a concealed carry permit and you are traveling in your vehicle in Louisiana you can put your firearm anywhere in your vehicle that you want. Out of sight,in a glove box. In your center console.
Wherever you want to put that motherfricker and you do not.
I repeat.

You do not have to tel la police officer that the gun is in your vehicle.

Not saying you shouldn't tell them but you are in your legal rights to not.

Now. If you do possess a Concealed Carry permit and an officer stops you then by law you must let the officer know you have a firearm in the vehicle.

But having this permit i'm sure you already know this.

no. my name is patrick.

I'm just wondering how they can legally make a sweep to take guns off the street. This is always a priority for cops but they can only do so much legally

"Is it registered?"

there is no gun registration in Louisiana

you're the first person i've read that has put or insinuated blame for the death of these officers and on them. i get you think you were making a good point but the whole point was based on a terrible assumption.

I'm not exactly sure how they will do it but I assume something like this:

"Sir, do you have a firearm in the car?"

"Is it registered?"

I also was told they are looking for actual serial numbers on the gun itself and if the person if a felon or not. Along with a CCP if the gun is concealed and the person has a permit.

How the frick could they charge you for carrying concealed IN YOUR CAR?

i read your crawfishing after but doesn't change your whole thought of what you said. it was a stupid statement.

You sir are the one that doesn't know how to understand what you have read.

He hasn't crawfished. Your reading comprehension is obviously not up to par.

not stolen is what i meant, i really have no clue about guns or gun laws i was just relaying info, they will be sweeping BR for illegal guns.

that is an interesting question, can you "Conceal" carry in your waist band while within your car? If car is true extension of home, i guess so but kind of an unusual circumstance.

I'm no expert, but I would doubt there will be random searches of vehicles without a declaration of martial law.

La. Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 11:
§11. Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Section 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms is fundamental and shall not be infringed. Any restriction on this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.

La. R.S. 14:95:
§95. Illegal carrying of weapons
A. Illegal carrying of weapons is:
(1) The intentional concealment of any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person;. . .

An automobile is not one's person, the Louisiana Supreme Court has decided that decades ago. And we have that "warrantless search issue without probable cause", incidental to an arrest, or even upon reasonable suspicion.

La. Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 5 (La.'s version of the US 4th Amendment):
§5. Right to Privacy
Section 5. Every person shall be secure in his person, property, communications, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches, seizures, or invasions of privacy. No warrant shall issue without probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, the persons or things to be seized, and the lawful purpose or reason for the search. Any person adversely affected by a search or seizure conducted in violation of this Section shall have standing to raise its illegality in the appropriate court.
