LSA had a good legislative session:
The last of the Louisiana Shooting Association sponsored bills was signed into law yesterday. We had a great session this year. Every bill supported by the LSA became law and every bill we opposed either died in committee or was amended in a way that made it acceptable. The two big wins were the exemption of concealed handgun permit holders from the law prohibiting carrying within 1000' of schools and repealing the prohibition of lawfully possessed firearms in state parks, wildlife management areas, wildlife preserves and historic places. Congratulations to everyone who participated in this grass roots effort.
Since March 17 of 2009, 827 new members joined the LSA. These are brand new, never before members. If you included those people who had been members at some time in the past, the number would be noticeably higher.
LSA has promoted the 2nd Amendment and gun ownership by representing Louisiana gun owners in the legislature; participating in amicus curiae briefing to the Supreme Court in the Heller and McDonald cases; and by sponsoring junior and adult shooting opportunities and competitions.
We would like to increase our membership by another 1000 members in the next 12 months. Please help this effort by joining yourself and/or telling your friends about LSA and encouraging them to join. As a bonus, when you join or renew your membership, you get a chance to win a really nice Ruger 10/22 Carbine Deluxe Sporter rifle. And, for each new member that you get to join the LSA, you will get an additional chance at winning this rifle! The drawing will be held at the annual meeting in January 2011.
