Advantages of a Parish CCW Permit

[luv1979]

In Caddo, the piece of paper you are given along with your parish permit lists schools, busses, or school board property (to include football stadiums and gyms) as one of the 13 listed places you are FORBIDDEN to carry even with the parish permit.

Aslo, it is stated on the front of the permit itself, This permit DOES NOT grant the bearer any law enforcement duties, position, or privileges

 

[luv1979]

Anyone know whether or not there is actually legal authority in the Parish legislature to grant carry permits against State law?

From RS 40:1379.1

G. The chief law enforcement officer of a parish shall have the authority to issue a concealed handgun permit to an individual, which permit shall be valid only within the boundaries of the chief law enforcement officer's parish. Upon application, the officer shall personally perform a standard criminal record check. The officer who performed the standard criminal record check shall not be liable for acts committed by the permittee, unless the officer had actual personal knowledge at the time he issued the permit that the permittee was mentally unstable or disqualified by law from possessing a firearm. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection, the issuance of a permit shall not be unreasonably withheld.

no Law numbers on it?

it is stated on the front of the permit itself, This permit DOES NOT grant the bearer any law enforcement duties, position, or privileges

What a blatant contradiction. It most assuredly does.

1.The effective date of the Act.
2.The Sheriff of each involved parish must sign a reciprocity agreement allowing /recognizing the permit of the neighboring parish.
3. After the reciprocity agreement is signed, you must apply for a new permit.
4. In addition to criteria established by the Sheriffs in the reciprocity agreement, you will be required to demonstrate proficiency with a firearm.
