How do ya'll feel about having Red Flag laws here in our state?
HB471 by Representative Gary Carter
WEAPONS/FIREARMS: Provides for the seizure of firearms from persons who pose a risk of imminent injury to self or others
Current Status: Pending House Administration of Criminal...
My work involves a lot of interaction with the DEQ. I know for a fact that their servers were hacked a month or so ago. The hack involved quite a few state offices in Baton Rouge. It took then a while to get it straightened out. Don't know whether that included the state police office or not.
I would like to see one of these bills passed. I feel that a lot of people would still apply for a CHP due to the fact that it allows for concealed carry in other states and it also allows them to bypass background checks when purchasing a new gun. It would also alleviate the situation a lot of...
If I'm not mistaken, all that is needed for it to pass is a majority vote. The House is 58% Republican, 40% Democrat & 2% Independent. The bill must first be reviewed by the Committee of Administration of Criminal Justice before it can be heard in the House. Hopefully the Committee approves it...
Ivey has introduced 2 bills regarding constitutional carry. If HB4, passes the legislature, it will bypass the governor's desk and be voted on by Louisiana residents during the upcoming November election. HB4 is a constitutional amendment. If HB6 passes in the legislature, it would have to...
I agree and my Rep. & I did talk about needing to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous felons. That it should be worded in such a way to prevent that from happening. But for someone in my situation whose conviction involved less than $400, which would not even be considered a felony...
I agree whole heartedly. I just posted here to get other's opinion and to see if any others were experiencing the same thing. I have not been sitting idly just hoping for the best. I spoke with lawyer yesterday about the federal govt denying the right to bear arms just because a person is...
I get a hunting license every year and was allowed my right to bear arms in the endeavor of squirrel, deer and turkey hunting. Now the federal govt says since I'm not allowed to have a CHP(I guess that's the term everyone here prefers), I'm not allowed to hunt with a firearm. That's pretty...
It is not federal law hindering me, but their interpretation of Louisiana law. They are interpreting my inability to get a CCW permit(privilege) as a reason to deny my right to bear arms. It would be analogous to saying that if someone can be denied a drivers license(privilege), they shouldn't...
But these rights aren't lost for life. The laws of the state that are broken and deserve punishment also restore those rights when punishment is served and all conditions are met. You seem to pick and choose which laws you think should be followed and disagree with those you don't like.
First off, Let me start by changing my attitude. I was getting a little gruff because you seem to believe no one can be forgiven for past mistakes. I respect and admire anyone in LE. My grandfather was the Asst. Chief of Police when here retired. And yes, he gave me an earful and a hell of a...
You know what my crime was. I was convicted because I admitted to it. I made restitution too the victim, paid my fines, served my 3 yrs probation and received my 1st offender pardon that restored my right. I still had to wait 10 yrs for my right to bear arms restored and am now 21 yrs beyond my...
It's not up to you to figure out if I deserve my rights restored. Louisiana law says that they are restored. The federal govt is refusing rights legally restored by the state on the basis of the state denying my privileges of having a CCW permit. I have no problem with not being able to get a...
After reading through the link posted above and also talking to the ATF, even though my state rights are restored I'm still federally prohibited due to the CCW restriction. The guy at the ATF agreed that it is a really screwed up situation and that thousands of Louisiana citizens are affected by...
I'm trying to find out if my right to possess a firearm had been restored. I received a first offender pardon for unauthorized use of an access card back in 1994 after serving 3 yrs probation. I have not had any felonies since then. Being that I was pardoned, does this make me eligible under 18...
