*HELP* Lots of info needed for paper

[Rebel88]

Hey guys I'm a criminal justice major and I'm writing a 10 page paper for one of my classes. I was in the middle of the semester and I got called up to go to afghanistan. My teacher agreed to give me credit for the class if I wrote a 10 page paper on the topic of my choice. I chose louisiana gun laws, which is a pretty broad subject. My problem now is that I'm running out of ideas of things to put in my paper, and since government computers restrict a lot of websites its really hard for me to find information. What I'm hoping to get from you guys is some links to some cases involving anything gun related in louisiana and any other good ideas for things to write about. All info is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Taylor

Ideas:

Louisiana CHP Law- Look at the actual statute, and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder. I could probably write 10 pages just on that. Think about an analysis of the law, and the inconsistencies between the enabling legislation and some of the end results.

"Your car is an extension of your home" --origins and analysis of this statement.

you could also try to contact Dan with the lsa and do a mini "interview" with him and his take on the aproach that the LSA is taking to change current laws and the process that they went through to make the changes on August of last year, that would be an easy 10 pages right there.

How about the cases of where CC permit holder used their weapon to protect life..

If you need specifics, I can research just give me a name or dates or something more focused..

http://www.laopencarry.org/legal-center-f14.html is the Legal discussion area of LOCAL -the Louisiana Open Carry Awareness League. There are plenty of links to case law in various threads. You may have to register first to get to the Library, but you'll find references to cases there. The site itself is devoted to Open Carry, but many of the cases discussed apply to gun laws in general.

A few cases off the top of my head: State v. Fluker, State v. Farrand (I may have misspelled this one), State v. Chandler.

Good luck.

Google "George Temple Shooting"

But he was not CC'ing at the time. His gun was in the glove box, So he did have a CHP but was not carrying don't if thats what he needs for his paper. Any legal citizen could have done what Mr. Stephens did that day and been legal. No CHP needed.

Maybe, maybe not.

He said "involving CC permit holders using their weapons". It fit the criteria in my mind.

You could write a lot about the battles that resulted from the gun confiscation mandated in NO after hurricane Katrina. In NRA-ILA has some info on this, because they filed lawsuits in response.
