Just call the SO and ask if there are any ordinances or what not, that would be your best bet.

The Parish Council passes Ordinances and will know them better than most Deputies at the Sheriff's Office.

So far this is how I found the little bit of info out there. The two main things seem to be "noise" and "distance from a home".

Not sure about Lafourche but on Bull Run, we have never had issues with shooting. There are multiple "ranges" setup and no problems. We are outside of city ordinances and parish ordinances say no discharge within 300' of a home or within a subdivision.

All I can find for Lafourche, is that you can't discharge a firearm within 300' of a home in District 8, shoot waterfowl within 500' of a home or discharge a firearm on a parish road or property. If you are within city limits, city ordinances would apply. If not, as long as you're not endangering anyone and the neighbors don't call the police you should be fine IMO.

Yes this would be outside the city limits. Once I get started on this I dont want to stop! I guess I could alway make it indoors!

You could always send an email or give a call to your councilman.

If they say it's a go, you'll be fine.
