So if a law has been on the books for ever, then it passes constitutional muster? I bet the cops and lawyers on this site would say it takes more that that to pass constitutional muster.
For the record, I am not saying the law is unconstitutional. I am just saying time on the "books" is not a good measure stick.
To get a true answer, call your local police or prosecuting attorney.

Very true....There's probably still a few local laws on the books somewhere that says it's legal to burn a suspected witch!
Ha
You said it better than I did. There are some crazy laws on the book in this country.
I'd "burn" her three times, take a shower and eat a sandwich, then "burn" her again. I'm just sayin'.....
NO but there is a clause in the latest version of the LA constitution that says that no local government may pass laws resricting the right to keep and bear arms, unless that law was already on the books before this latest constitution which was passed in the 70's. Baton Rouges's Brec Park Ordinance passes constitutional muster because its been on the books since the 50's or earlier which is what I was refering to and most OC'rs on this board understand. Even the great MEM knows this and while he has complained about it, has not had one of his "Freedumb marches/rides" cause he knows he'll loose it in court. SO time on the books in this case is a good measuring stick.
BR is a city/parish so the city/parish ordinances apply all over, including brec parts outside of the city limits. BRPD can only enforce inside city limits still. I gave up trying to figure it all out and just deal with it.

Must be nice to be young and able to do that. I remember those days fondly. These days I'd be lucky if I could burn her 3 times in a week. I'd probably catch a leg cramp halfway through the first burn, have my herniated disk in my back go out during the second burn and by the third burn she may end up riding a limp broom. Then I'd just want to sleep the rest of the time. Oh to be young again. That reminds me, I have to take my high blood pressure medicine, my acid reflux pill and my multi vitimin then eat my oatmeal before my nap time gets here. See ya later.

I do not agree. Is there a law for vagrancy or vagrants still on books? I am just asking. IF, according to you, time on the books counted for anything, then the courts would not need to hear any cases about any constitutional issues, with any law that has been on the books since "70's"
So, again, time on the books is not a good measuring stick. I did not know about the clause you quoted above, thanks for the info, but that just states that no further local laws can be passed. It did not say.....hence forth, all previous passed laws are constitutional. If you can cite me one case where the constitutionality of this law has been tried and passed, then I would say your statement carries some weight but not necessarily your reasoning.
Your measuring stick is limp.
Go OC in a Brec Park then, call BRPD when you do it, call the media and your lawyer, we'll see years down the road what happens. The ordinances themselves have been challenged, and have stood up to judicial muster.
Yale, Louisiana Carry, could you please explain what I am trying to say to this to this guy. You can cite specific laws and clauses I'm refering to I'm sure.
