As with any grooup of people most will be nice, good guys, some will be a little different and a few will be a##holes. You must have met the last bunch. I would be more pissed that he dented or scratched the roof of my vehicle.
(5) Any constitutionally protected activity which cannot be regulated by the state, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle.
There is no law that says "your car is an extension of your home". Not sure where the phrase originated. I'm guessing it's from a court case, but I could not find it. There is no generalized law that says you cannot store a gun in your car, thus the default is that you can. There are certain exceptions, such as the workplace law, etc., but there is no broad prohibition against storing a gun in your car.
Somewhere along the way somebody came up with the "extension" phrase as applying to Louisiana, but it's never actually been codified.
Anyone know what federal law that is?
A brand new account, all for some cop hate. This seems to be a recurring topic so I'm sure you'll find others that share you point of view.
Dude, what are you talking about?? The day everyone sits back and DOESN'T speak out against things like this is the day we are officially a "police state"....
The law is the law, and that means individuals are not allowed to make the rules up as they go along.
I do not hate cops- I've already said on here that I have numerous friends AND family in that profession. I assure you that they feel the same way I do on this issue.
x2 on many Harahan cops being dicks.
I saw them speeding with lights and sirens on a couple of weeks ago. So i pulled over to let them pass as did about 20 other people well 30 sec later i see them park get out lean against their cars and just start having a conversation. There was some kind of fest going on and i guess they were there to just park and make it look legit. Talk about a bunch of assholes.
I have respect for police and i have a few friends who are officers but I really dislike the ones who abuse their power.
Andrew--make a complaint on the officer and make sure you have the paper work to back it up. Do you know if there was video running when you got pulled over?
RS 32:292.1 §292.1. Transportation and storage of firearms in privately owned motor vehicles
A. Except as provided in Subsection D of this Section, a person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or store such firearm in a locked, privately-owned motor vehicle in any parking lot, parking garage, or other designated parking area.
How'd the Court Appearance go?
Court went fine, both charges were dropped. The court was not the issue, it was the cop who slammed my gun on the roof of my car and lectured me on something he had no idea about. I am going to file a complaint against him early next week and I will let yall know how that goes. Thanks for all of you help!

1. 14:95 does cover it. Read the whole thing "The following will not apply in" no where after that does it say on privtae property, in your home, in your car, etc." Now, It is highly unlikely you would be arrested, unless something else happened. Many argue that there is a presumption that you can on private property. There has not ben a case to test it yet.
2. The school zone law only applies to school zone. TYou cannot use it to apply to other laws.
3. Youare reading way too much into this. Furthermore, not everythuing is answered in statute law. Much is held in previous case law. Even more has yet to be tested, because each situation is looked t in the context of itself.
4. Try the search function, we have talked about this before.
Another example of where a quality CHp class help with general issues like this.
