Dear Louisiana Gun Owner:
Yesterday, the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee passed NRA-backed SB 51 by Sen. Joe McPherson (D-Woodworth) on a 9-3 vote. SB 51 would protect your right to lawfully transport and store firearms in your locked motor vehicle, even while parked in unsecured, public access parking lots controlled by your employer or a business you frequent. The bill now moves to the House floor for consideration.
Big business lobbyists are working overtime to defeat this bill -- they do not speak for you! They speak for corporate executives who often don't even live or work in Louisiana or in the United States. They want to preserve the ability of these businesses to establish "No Firearms" policies that extend to your car or truck in their parking lots, which often times are accessible by the general public. This is an infringement on your right under Louisiana law to have a firearm in your vehicle, which is your private property and considered an extension of your home, and your right to protect yourself.
Your State Representatives need to hear from you! We need to show gun owners have just as loud a voice as big business, and that we represent more votes in Louisiana. Please call your State Representatives at 225-342-6945 or email them and urge them to support SB 51 when it comes before the full House for consideration in the coming weeks. You can find their email addresses at <http://house.louisiana.gov/>. Make sure you reference SB 51 in the subject line of your emails!
Please forward this alert to at least FIVE members of your family, your circle of friends, your gun club or your sporting organization who would support SB 51!
