I wonder if they will change the laws regarding carrying a handgun while bow hunting on wma’s, if it passes. Currently, only people with a concealed carry permit are allowed to carry while bow hunting on a wma.

the sheriffs association is against it because they get money from the lic, teaching the classes etc, THEY CAN KICK ROCKS. Every state surrounding la is constitutional carry. As far as carrying on wma's the constitution says you can.

It should pass. Passed initially with a veto proof majority in both chambers 2 years ago, until JBE vetoed it and a few RINOs either changed their vote or didn’t show up for the veto override session. Landry said on the campaign trail that he’d sign it if the legislature passed the bill again.

You are right. Unfortunately, Louisiana is its own worst enemy with the corruption. It passed last time with a "veto proof" majority but...after the Governor's veto, some changed their vote to not override the veto. Wonder why they would do that? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And if it's like here in Texas, people still put up "no unlicensed carry" signs. So even though constitutional carry exists, private businesses are more likely to prohibit carry to those without a license.

I don't know anything about Louisiana politics. Why would they be against it? Oklahoma Sheriffs were very supportive when Oklahoma went Constiutional Carry.

They would get voted out in a heartbeat if they had come out against it.
