Greetings all. For those unaware, I'm on the Board of the Louisiana Shooting Association, which advocates for citizens gun rights in the legislature along with NRO, GOA, etc.
One of the things I do is watch the sausage get made in committee meetings. Everyone should do it at least once. If something escapes committee, good or bad, it has crossed a significant threshold toward becoming the law of the land.
Real talk folks - anyone that can show up and put in the green cards/red cars as appropriate can make a difference.
Of particular note is a HB 721 that would allow teachers with a CHL to carry on campus - we're working toward adding some details that would involve carry on person and a an additional training component but we need teachers there in support and ideally willing to either speak to the committee about their desire to not be sitting ducks, or possible if they would put it in writing they don't necessarily need to speak.
The schedule for Wednesday is below
HB 62 MCCORMICK WEAPONS/FIREARMS Provides relative to enforcement of federal firearm laws
HB 408 LANDRY, MANDIE WEAPONS/FIREARMS Provides for the creation of the "Louisiana Voluntary Do Not Sell List"
