HB494

[whitsend]

Why doesn't anyone state the obvious for this being passed out of this committee?

The question to go before the state's voters should not be decided by 16 Legislators!

Ivey stated it in closing.

Down in flames!

HB494 failed to pass committee.

 

[oscar615]

Didn't pass out. Even the Republicans voted against it. Then it was given the option of involuntarily defer. Crazy and remember when the elections come around.
Also involuntarily deferred HR520.

 

[whitsend]

HB520 involuntarily deferred.

The current concealed permit law should be challenged. I doubt it would stand up against strict scrutiny.

But don't worry guys, they passed SB651 so THEY can carry without having a permit as long as they go through POST and a psych evaluation. In the words of Sen. "Don't call me late to lunch", "this bill isn't creating a special class, it was already created." (And we, the privileged Legislators, weren't apart of it) "It is just expanding it."

Now I can grade this session and they get an F. This clown car has failed to pass any meaningful legislation. With under a month to go, there will not be anything passed for the benefit of this state. Our fiscal issues will be kicked to the next session("Let's play kick the can!") Defeating bad legislation does not qualify as good work in my opinion. That is part of the oath of office.

I will volunteer if the NRA backs me like they backed Mr. MacDonald in Chicago! he didn't have any money either!

Remember the Louisiana Sheriffs Association and the stance the sheriffs you elect took on 2A issues.

Current law would most certainly pass strict scrutiny.

It looks like a lot of pro gun folks showed up for today's committee meeting. While I applaud their getting involved, we as gun owners need to be careful about our image. Short pants, T-shirts, Crocs and tennis shoes do not present well to legislators. Empty holsters? Come on guys, really? If you want legislators' support, dress the part - khakis and golf shirt at least.

I didn't know they took a stance on the issue.

Out of curiosity, where do you stand on the issue?

The hallway did for sure. I am watching the testimony now and thus far the witnesses are doing well.

I have a hard time believing that this Committee was going to sincerely and fairly consider passing this. If any of these hearings looked like a predetermined outcome, it was this one. To me, there is no reason why my shirt tuck should be the difference between carrying for free (open), or carrying for money (concealed).

It defies logic, except for the monetary and data gathering aspects.

As for the way people dressed? Yeah; there is a certain level of décor that must be considered even up there. I think it speaks volumes to how unconnected the gun community is.

 

[Gilbee]

Is there a list of how each member voted? Curious which members voted for/against this, especially ones that count on my vote next time around...

Here you go.
