Louisiana NFA items

[Crews]

Hey guys! quick question. I'm in the process of moving to Louisiana from Texas. I currently own a couple of NFA items.... a suppressor and a SBR. Is there anything in particular that I need to know about when bringing NFA items into the state? I know I have to file a 5320.20 for change of address, but is there any other steps that I'm missing? A search of the internet has turned up nothing.

Just file your 5320.20 and you are good.

Welcome. IPSO range just down the road from you is a NFA friendly range - and free. Open to civilians Wed 12-4, Sat 8-1 and Sun 12-3. (May have some restrictions on FA depending on crowds and your experience level.)

free, as in just show up and shoot? Anything else required? What does IPSO range stand for, and where is this place at?

Show up (bring eye & ear protection, paper targets), I think they go over a list of range rules your first time (5 minutes), sign basically a release form, put up a target stand, and go shooting. As mentioned earlier, they are cool with NFA. If you are new, they might ask if you "have your paperwork" - not that they want to see it, just as long as you don't say "What paperwork?"

do they have a rifle range? If so, how far does it stretch out?

They have about six or seven benches on the rifle range. It is 100 yds and they no longer allow putting up targets closer than that. If you need to shoot shorter like to begin sighting in a new optic, your only hope is that there is basically no one else there and the range officer may allow you to bring one of the chairs closer to the target to shoot from. Someone fired a round or two over the berm (that wound up hitting a business) a few years ago and they got way more strict. Note that around this time of the year, the rifle range will be super crowded with hunters, so plan to go early or wait. I think the range officers typically ask people to let others have a turn if they've been taking a lane for a while, so they try to be fair.

If you reload, they're also cool with chronographs and picking up brass.
