I've had my CHP for about 19 years and I don't think this enhanced deal would benefit me much in the way I carry. And it's more money and time spent

Would this allow students to carry on campus if they have an "enhanced" permit?

I would be inclined to believe so.

Another important question to ask is, who is/will be allowed to apply for a "Enhanced Permit"? And what will be the extra cost? Training? Etc...

It's all in the document in the link.

Abstract: Authorizes the issuance of an enhanced concealed handgun permit.
Present law provides for the issuance of a concealed handgun permit and provides for the
qualifications and eligibility for the issuance of that permit.
Proposed law retains present law.
Proposed law authorizes the issuance of an enhanced concealed handgun permit, and
provides that to qualify for an enhanced permit, a Louisiana resident shall:

(1) Be the holder in good standing of a valid Louisiana concealed handgun permit.

(2) Complete a course of training in the use of firearms which is equivalent to training
approved by P.O.S.T. and be qualified annually in the use of firearms.

(3) Pay an annual fee of $50 per year for the enhanced concealed carry permit.
(Adds R.S. 40:1379.3.2)

Ah, ok thanks. Clicked the link earlier, but did not see any info other than the author etc.
so $50 more per year plus the cost of the course of training.

So it would be $125 for the 5 yr. permit plus $50 per year and the cost of the yearly training?

 

[whitsend]

Seems like a way to get another hidden tax on gun owners.

Just pass the constitutional carry bill and be done with it.

Yep.

You would pay $125 for a 5 year permit, $50 for the enhanced permit (per year), and $XXX for POST equivalent training (per year). So let's say the training cost was $100. Training over five years would cost $500 and the enhanced permit would cost $250 (over five years). Your total cost for a five year period, with the enhanced permit, would cost you $875 + the cost of your original CHP training.

Seems like a way to get another hidden tax on gun owners.

I agree.

 

[AustinBR]

I'd pay more than $50 a year to be able to CC while @ LSU!

 

[Suburbazine]

Just take a Tom Givens class every year, you'll meet the POST requirement and get good knowledge to boot.
