Can't wait to see how this will hash out.

"A federal judge on Monday struck down a Baton Rouge ordinance that bars the possession of guns in any establishment, including the parking lot, where alchoholic beverages are sold or consumed on the premises.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson’s ruling came in the case of Ernest Taylor, who was pulled over outside Romeo’s Lounge and arrested after Baton Rouge police found three rifles in his vehicle."

Nothing to hash out. Federal judge ruled in favor of a citizen who was within constitutional rights. Poorly thought out local ordinance and it seems the E.B.R Attorney's office knew it.

"... the East Baton Rouge Parish Attorney’s Office drafted an email June 24 to Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie suggesting the chief no longer enforce the ordinance because it *may have some constitutional problems.*

Hey look, the system does work! Sometimes!

Yes, I agree there should be nothing to hash out. That never stops the gun grabbers from filing appeals and holding up the process of reverting back to constitutional rights.

Lots of different opinions floating around on this.

Some are for it.

Some are against it.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

That is one bad ordinance. I break it a couple times everyday by just going to the store down the road from my house.

 

[Gerberman]

Good to see. Now the council should act and delete it immediately.

I thought Baton Rouge was conservative?
This is Louisiana; not New Jersey.
Perhaps there are special needs people on the city counsel there.

Abbeville take note!
(p.s. We need to see more of this.)

And one day, the state will completely remove it from the books along with the "Sodomy Law" that the police were still arresting people for, even though it was known to be Unconstitutional and everyone knew it, but the DA was still allowing people to be arrested even thought they weren't supposed to and knew it; and the Sherriff Sid Gautreaux knew his deputies were doing it and he didn't tell them to stop even though he knew it was not supposed to be enforced; all because somebody hates homos, and

Ever wonder why any ill-conceived law is not opposed by voices of reason BEFORE they get enacted and improperly enforced at the expense of a law abiding citizen or the taxpayers?

What do these government bodies have legal counsel for? To make sure the chamber Chik-fil-a order is right?

Legislative genius!
You couldn't even buy gas without violating that stupid law.
