Tomorrow, March 26, at 10:30 a.m., the Louisiana Senate Judiciary C Committee is scheduled to hear Senate Bill 194, an important bill to clarify and strengthen Louisiana’s firearm preemption law.
SB 194 prohibits a governing authority of a political subdivision from enacting, or enforcing any ordinance, order, regulation, policy, procedure, rule, or any other form of executive or legislative action more restrictive than state law concerning in any way the manufacture, sale, purchase, possession, carrying, storage, ownership, taxation, transfer, transportation, license, or registration of firearms, ammunition, or components of firearms or ammunition, firearms accessories, knives, edged weapons, or any combination thereof.
With gun control advocates looking for any opportunity to suppress hunting, shooting, and self-defense it is important the Pelican State clarifies and strengthens this critical law. This law is vital as it prevents unsuspecting sportsmen and gun owners from becoming criminals when crossing unknown jurisdiction lines. Sportsmen should not have to worry about breaking the law to own and legally use a firearm for hunting, shooting, or self-defense.
Please use our Take Action button to email the committee members and ask them to vote “Yes” to SB 194. SB 194 ensures there will not be a patchwork of gun restrictions across the state and keeps local jurisdictions from outright firearm and possession bans.
Don’t forget to share this important alert with your family, friends, fellow sportsmen, and gun owners. Ask them to contact the committee members urging them to Support SB 194. Sportsmen of the Pelican State must continue to stay actively involved in defending our hunting, fishing, and trapping heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.
