LA Looks to Reduce "Gun Free Zones"
IMG iStock-884171322

Last week, the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee held their “Gun Day,” where multiple pro-gun bills passed out of committee and the lone anti-gun measure was involuntarily deferred. Your active participation was crucial to protecting and upholding our fundamental right to bear arms. Thank you for taking immediate action, voicing your support for pro-gun bills, and expressing concern about the anti-gun legislation.

Pro-Gun Bills:

HB 131, the constitutional carry bill, recognizes the inherent right of law-abiding adults to carry firearms for self-defense, and has made significant progress. HB 131 was passed out of the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee last week and passed the House today.  The bill was referred to the Senate for consideration.

HB 234 reduces concealed handgun permit fees. It seeks to alleviate the financial burden on law-abiding citizens by reducing the fees associated with concealed handgun permits. Although this bill was deferred in the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee on 5/16, there is still an opportunity to advance it further. HB 234 is now scheduled for a hearing in the Committee on Wednesday, 5/24.

Anti-Gun Bill:

HB 175 prohibits firearms in hospitals, mental health facilities, community health centers, and related facilities. This bill was involuntarily deferred in the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee on 5/16, effectively putting an end to its progress.

Thank you for your support and dedication to defending our rights. Louisiana’s 2023 Legislative Session is scheduled to adjourn in a few weeks, on June 8. Stay tuned to www.NRAILA.org and your email inbox for updates regarding Second Amendment and hunting-related legislation.

John Bell vetoed it last year and then bribed some republicans to not vote for it during the veto override session. I’m not optimist he will let it through

A film posted by Nuclear Vault titled “To Keep and Bear Arms – The Big Picture” (ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ0qD60UEt4) contains within an NRA film from the nostalgic days before WLP. Some things never change (except the armed criminals appearantly used to wear suits), including some people shocked to see a gun in public and legislators wanting to ban guns. And some things are less common like actors promoting marksmanship and youth involvement. It’s an interesting slice of history from the moment in time when the M14 was the new rifle for the Army.

Your link didn’t work for me until I figured out what was going on and manually fixed it. This particular PC is running Windows 11, Chrome browser, everything up to date. When I right-click the link in your comment and select “Open link in new tab” (something I ALWAYS do when clicking links in articles or comments so I can easily return to where I started), this is what showed up in the address bar in the new tab: ttps//www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ0qD60UEt4 Ok, so I think it isn’t working because it’s missing the “h” in what is supposed to be the “https”… Read more »

Good catch. Thanks. Obviously my cut-and-paste cut too much. As a retired programmer I know all to well that one missing letter, one misplaced semicolon and nothing will work.

If this gets the override vote, how many states does that make for Constitutional carry?

So, you can now exercise your 2nd amendment rights as long as you get on a permit list. What an excellent way toward eventual confiscation.

CONGRATULATIONS on “allowing” Legal Law Abiding Americans to EXERCISE the AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALLY ACKNOWLEDGED RIGHT of SELF PROTECTION using a well known INANIMATE OBJECT!
NOW…. The “LOCK STEP DemocRATs” need to DEFEND their OATH-OF-OFFICE instead of ABDICATING and BREAKING their SWORN OATH!!!!
