re: constitutional carry vote happening today

Why would they be against it? Oklahoma Sheriffs were very supportive when Oklahoma went Constiutional Carry.

I've had several LEO say "it makes our job more dangerous." As if criminals are respecting the absence of constitutional carry.

Honor Code vetoed this twice I believe.

I just them to show me where I get a "license"

I will still continue to conceal carry whether it passes or not…I will never let the govt. decide if I can protect me and my family.

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

Sen. Ronnie Johns (R-Lake Charles) is not at the Louisiana Capitol this week he says because he’s recovering from a July 7 knee replacement surgery, but the NAGR says Johns “decided to be absent during the session, further aiding in the failure of the Governor’s veto of SB 118 being overridden.”

Cocksuker was appointed to the Gaming Board the following week.

If this passes what will happen to conceal carry permit? I assume people will still do it for reciprocity and background checks?

That's exactly correct, but it won't be required if you aren't concerned about that.

Right. I'm already covered under the one they passed for veterans. Driving to work I see plenty of CCW class signs. I imagine some of these might be hurting for business soon.

The point being that if they find a concealed gun on someone without a permit, they can confiscate it and potentially arrest the person to get them and their guns off the street.

---

So somebody with a clear criminal record can be charged simply for carrying a firearm for self-defense. A person with a gun that is not a threat to anyone and has no history of being such a threat. That sounds pretty stupid actually.

quote:

---

When unrestricted concealment is legal, they have to give the gun back to the street criminal and wish him a nice day.

---

Well, if they are actually a criminal then they would have a reason to detain them beyond carrying a firearm. If they are already a convicted felon then they could be charged as a felon in possession regardless of this law. You seem to have a very low IQ for what this law actually does and how it would actually apply in reality. Typical of you though.

How bout: THUG, FELON IN POSSESSION?

Yall need to find another word to substitute for criminal. You can't keep using criminal like this, it makes you look stupid.

I’m not arguing the point. I’m just responding to the question of wondering why law enforcement is against unlimited concealed carry. I’ve spoken with friends who are police officers and that’s what they’ve said. They pretty much know who is who in the areas that they regularly patrol. They consider it a good thing whenever they can confiscate a couple concealed guns. Everyone knows that there are others that can be gotten, but they still use the finding of a gun on a pat down as justification for taking someone in and confiscating the weapon.

I plan to keep mine for traveling to other states with reciprocal laws.

probably the only reason I would keep mine, maybe.

The only concern I’ve had with the constitutional carry is having everyone in their momma thinking they can just carry everywhere with 0 training whatsoever. I’m sure there are people out there that haven’t even touched a handgun that are going to buy and carry a foty glock because they can legally conceal.
