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.

I will eat crow if this passes here. This is the land of disfunction.

Didn't they have a veto proof majority last year as well? I think @Xeon64 is right.

Yes, cracking down on weirdos who play dress up has been a greater priority. I sleep so much better in New Orleans knowing that our "lawmakers" are protecting us from the drag queens.

I am glad that they at least made it possible for veterans like me to carry with our VA ID and "Veteran" on DL.

Put your Crow eating clothes on, you're about to get a big serving.

I don't think we had a veto proof vote last time but we did have the power to overturn the veto and that didn't go well. I think now we have what is called a "super majority" which is veto proof legislation. It can't be Veto'd is what I understanding.

 

[Peacemaker]

This is going to be great for law-abiding citizens! Long overdue.

Get ready for the " Blood will be running in the streets. " rhetoric .

There were enough votes last time to overturn the veto, but cowards backed out. Which will probably happen again, if we're being honest with ourselves.

SO many deputies have said they dont want this, I am surprised at the pushback..

They will get over it.

Louisiana is last in everything. I don't expect this pass until we are one of the last holdout states.

We are just about last in the south. I believe only South Carolina is the only other southern state without it.

About damn time. Over half the country has constitutional carry and although that’s nice and all it should be every state and territory

So I’m confused…. Is it new law? I already have my CCP, but my doesn’t yet. Or is it about to pass?

Has to go from the house (where it passed, veto proof) to the senate (looking veto proof), then governors desk. If the numbers hold, it should be veto proof. I'm not confident, cause they had the numbers in 21, I believe and was bribed in to backing out.
