re: Constitutional carry

They had a veto proof majority last time, before a couple of crooks sold out. It would be hard for me to believe they'd lose now when all they need is a simple majority. Plus, it was one of Landry's more popular campaign promises.

The cops can flex all they like. This is passing.

It was passed last time with a veto proof majority. But JBE called their bluff and vetoed it and they didn’t override.

Well there was a vote to override. However, three republicans made deals with the governor and abstained from voting so it failed.

I'll be surprised if it passes without a hitch. I'm surprised at some of the conservatives in Louisiana I know who oppose it. I think it will pass though but may not go as smoothly as some people think. My hunch is that a handful of GOP legislators make it on Landry's shite list during this. Would be nice to see it pass easily though.

Should non-violent convicted felons get their gur rights restored?

If you travel out of state it's good to have for reciprocity.

"Reciprocity" isn't an issue today if you're traveling to constitutional carry states. If you're traveling in or among states that all have constitutional carry, any state that recognizes that concept doesn't also say the US Constitution only applies to residents of that state and not to residents of Louisiana.

Logically the idea of a permit undermines the whole idea of the supremacy of the Constitution as your justification for carrying in the first place. Texas law doesn't say the 2nd amendment applies to Texas residents only, it applies to any legal gun owner in Texas, whether resident or visitor.

Some states with constitutional carry or 'shall issue' states have historically issued its residents cards for 'reciprocity' (Alaska, New Hampshire) with no continuing education requirements or excessive cost like the silly CWP nonsense Louisiana has now. But Vermont is a permitless carry state, it doesn't issue any physical 'permit' to its citizens, yet they have reciprocity with Louisiana too.

The idea of paying $125 plus 'continuing education' from largely uninformed off duty cops goes away with constitutional carry.

Most states are permitless carry adjacent to Louisiana already. Leaving Louisiana, you can drive to Florida, to Ohio, up to Montana and every state in between allows permitless carry already. It is a shame we have to drive across state lines to get the full benefit of the Constitution.

Dude braggs about fricking teens, he can stay far away from Louisiana

That all sounds great. Will you be around to talk to a sheriff three years into his tenure when I'm out of state? A permit, while I don't think I should need it, shuts up inexperienced LEOs (I don't say that condescendingly.)

We bitch about this shite constantly, among Internet warriors, and we expect some 24 year old ex-lance corporal to figure this stuff out on the fly? Yeah, should know the law, blah blah, but there's reality and fantasy. Spend $130 every 3-5 years, and make it easy on the poor bastard that pulled you over. Even though you shouldn't have to. Gun rights are a constant grind of a pressure, pressure, pressure, a little bit of movement.

WTF? This is about making "it" easier on LEO? I hope your trolling... I don't support POLICy Enforcers that violate the constitution.

They charge fees for the permits. Also, there are officers that do side gigs to provide the required training for the permit

I think his point is the fee should only cover the cost associated with the program. Should not be tons of money left over to do other things.
