I was living in Louisiana and received my gun rights back in 2010 and received a UPIN under federal law that basically read if the state restores those rights they respect that and barring no federal crimes allow you to purchase firearms which I have the last 4 years. During that time since I could not obtain a ccw under LA law I got an out of state ccw for traveling not even to carry but as you travel from state to state the laws change on how to legally carry a firearm in you vehicle unless u have a ccw that they honor. About 2 weeks after LA passed a law stating LA residents which I was would not honor out of state permits which was fine because they don't have restrictions on traveling with firearms in your vehicle. It was only now in Jan of 2014 that these letter stating that the feds changed their opinion on how they interpret LA law. Not Louisiana saying that 14.95.1 (c) is invalid so it's not LA that says I don't have gun rights but now the feds have changed their minds and qoute the CCL requirement as the basis for their opinion and cite Caron vs us which has nothing to do with ccw and is a stretch to say the least. Many of u do not understand that LA gives you your firearm rights back and the feds accepted this and would give you a UPIN if applied for or would have to wait 3 days. What they have done is with a stroke of a pen made 10's of thousands of previously legal firearm owner to felons under their interpretation of LA law. So all the firearms and ammo that we legally purchased we now have to get rid of orb take our chances in hopes that LA changes the law that they are citing, that is the problem here and they did that because the feds were pissed about the lifetime ccw and bypassing of nics when purchasing a firearm. I never applied for a LA ccw but it is chicken sh@t that they just send us a letter and say that all of a sudden we are now felons even though the state never said that was the case. The state trumps the Fed concerning our rights to posses firearms that's why they gave us upins to start with.
