    May have been posted already but for those that don't know. Starting Aug 1st 2016 Honorably Discharged Veterans don't pay the LSP CCW permit fee.

    Isn't that the same thing? I know the LSP site refers to it as a CHP since it's for handguns specifically, but is there something I'm missing?

    Well since there no such thing as a CCW unless you're talking about a weapon. A CHP as in a Concealed Handgun Permit issued by the Louisiana State Police Concealed Handgun Permit section. And the LSP site refers to it as a CHP because that's what it is.

    I looked all over the LSP site for this but can't seem to find anything other than an Active Military Discount?
    Found it... http://www.lsp.org/pdf/chApplication.pdf

    I was going to let mine expire but no reason to now.
