Another update...
Senator Miguez's office told me "the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission adopted some changes"
I think it's a start, but still violates existing state law.
4. Firearms
a. Firearms having live ammunition in the chamber,magazine, cylinder or clip when attached to firearms and crossbows cocked in the ready position are not allowed in or on vehicles, boats under power, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, ATCs, WMA check stations, or in camping areas on WMAs. Firearms may not be carried on any area before or after permitted hours except in authorized camping areas and except as may be permitted for authorized trappers.
b.Firearms Rifles, shotguns, pre-charged pneumatic devices, and bows and arrows are not allowed on WMAs during closed seasons except on designated shooting ranges or as permitted for trapping and except as allowed permitted pursuant to R.S. 56:109(C) and for purposes of transport pursuant to R.S. 56:1691. Bows and broadhead arrows are not allowed on WMAs except during deer archery season, turkey season or as permitted for bowfishing. Active and retired law enforcement officers in compliance with POST requirements, federal law enforcement officers and holders of Louisiana concealed handgun permits or permit holders from a reciprocal state who are in compliance with all other state and federal firearms regulations Any person who meets the qualifications of R.S. 14:95(M) may possess firearms handguns on WMAs provided these firearms are not used for any hunting purpose.
Something else I didn't think about until recently,
Since the LDWF is a governing authority, under the executive branch, it should not have the ability to regulate firearms, not intended for hunting, and, in combination with 56:1691, unless there is some other statute that overrules these two, I think the LDWF is exceeding it's authority.
